The strategy forms part of the measures put in place by CSA to ensure that the Proteas Test squad, captained by Quinton de Kock, can return to South Africa and satisfy the overseas travel Covid-19 quarantine protocol ahead of that team’s three-Test series against Australia.
Prior to the three T20Is, the Proteas will play two Tests against Pakistan.
