Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the South African Cricketers’ Association (SACA) will decide if the Proteas Test team will go ahead with their tour of Bangladesh by the end of this week.
The two-matches tour is planned to start on October 21.
Citing BCB’s cricket operations in-charge, Shahriar Nafees, the Daily Star reported that the CSA and their players’ association are highly structured organizations, making this a routine procedure from their side.
He also said that their apprehension following July-August’s unrest in Bangladesh is expected, but they have reassured CSA that the country is fully functioning and remains safe to travel.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, originally set to be hosted in Bangladesh, was relocated after anti-government protests erupted in early August.
CSA sources revealed to ESPNcricinfo that while the situation in Bangladesh has stabilized, the final decision will depend on whether any risks are identified during the security evaluations.
