Former England captain Michael Vaughan has asked on social media that the way Australia postponed the tour of South Africa, could it do so against a powerful country like cricket in India. Cricket Australia has postponed the tour to South Africa citing health and safety risks amid the Corona epidemic.

Cricket Australia’s Interim Chief Executive Officer Nick Hockley said that it was a difficult decision to postpone touring in South Africa given the growing incidence of the Kovid-19 epidemic.

Vaughan tweeted on Wednesday, ‘Australia’s withdrawal from the UN tour is a matter of concern for the game. Had they visited India, could they have done so.

He said that big boards like India, Australia and England should help the cricket boards which have been hit by the epidemic. He said, “It is necessary that the three big countries help the board facing the economic consequences of the epidemic.”

Hockley clarified that before doing so, he considered all possible options, including the offer to host the series. The CA said on Tuesday that it was forced to postpone next month’s tour in view of the ‘health and safety risks’ caused by the epidemic in South Africa. With this, he is almost eliminated from the final of the World Test Championship to be held later this year. (Input from agency)
