The Indian women’s cricket team has pulled out of the proposed tour of England due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to media reports.
The Indian women’s team was originally slated to play a bilateral series comprising three ODIs and three T20Is against England in June which got postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced it was in talks with their Indian and South African counterparts to host a tri-series in September.
“With South Africa due to arrive later in the summer, it had been hoped the three sides would play a tri-series, but the rising number of cases in India mean they will not be able to travel,” the BBC reported.
“It is understood England will try to extend the series against the Proteas,” the report said.
