Australia was scheduled to tour South Africa next March to play a three-game test series. South Africa is now fighting the second push from Covid-19. Cricket Australia (CA) announced on Tuesday that the tour had been postponed to avoid any risk for now. Vaughan commented in a tweet on Wednesday that Australia had not set a good example.
“The Australians’ decision to withdraw from the South African tour is of great concern to cricket. Would they have stayed away from the India tour?”
Vaughan, who played 72 tests for the country, said the big cricket tables like India, England and Australia should come forward with the help of others during the epidemic.
Pietersen said Australia could never have made such a decision if India had replaced South Africa.
“Australia could not have played the Trials in India. The postponement of their tour of South Africa hints at a very bad time in the cricket world. England also withdrew from the tour of South Africa (halfway through) due to the coronavirus, but the tour continued even after the players on the Sri Lanka tour were infected with the coronavirus. “
Earlier Tuesday, Cricket South Africa’s director of cricket, Graeme Smith, expressed frustration with Australia’s decision. He also highlighted how hard they were working to organize the series. At the same time, it will be a great financial loss for them.
