Cricket South Africa on Monday confirmed that India have cancelled their two-day warm-up match at Boland Park.
Instead, they have opted for training sessions on those days.
This means that India will head into the three-match Test series against the Proteas starting on 5 January 2018 in Cape Town, without a practice match in South Africa.
CSA released the new itinerary with the confirmation of the cancelled game:
‘Please be advised that the two-day warm-up match for India at Eurolux Boland Park will no longer be taking place. India have opted for training sessions on those days.’
The BCCI has yet to comment on the reason for the cancellation.
CSA also announced the changes of times to the Proteas’ and Proteas Women’s schedule:
