Press release -

Official Statement

Following the postponement of today's One-Day International between South Africa and England at Newlands, Ashley Giles, Managing Director, England Men's Cricket, has issued the following statement:

"On behalf of the England touring party and the ECB, I would like to thank Cricket South Africa for their collaborative approach to postponing today's One-Day International.

"Our number one priority is the health and safety of the England team and management group, and the correct decision was made following discussions between the two Boards and respective medical teams.

"The England party will remain at its base in Cape Town on Friday and Saturday, and we are hopeful that the three-match series will be played before we depart next Thursday starting with the match at Paarl on Sunday."
