Wasim Khan 'fully expects' South Africa to play 2 Tests & 3 T20Is series in January 2021 in Pakistan

South Africa delay Pakistan tour due to player workload

“Both the boards are now exploring their FTPs to find gaps so that we can agree on the dates,” says Wasim Khan

Lahore, 14 February 2020:

Cricket South Africa have expressed their inability to tour Pakistan next month but assured the Pakistan Cricket Board that they will honour the commitment of sending their side as soon as it is reasonably possible.

The proposed three-match T20I series was over and above two-Test and three-T20I series in January, next year, which is part of the Future Tours Programme.

The CSA conveyed their decision to the PCB this afternoon after taking into account player workload.

PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan said: “While we were keenly looking forward to hosting South Africa next month, we respect Cricket South Africa’s reason for not sending their side next month. Managing player workload is a top priority for any cricket board, and from that perspective, their decision is understandable.

“We are pleased that the CSA remains committed to rescheduling this short series as soon as practically possible. As there is a strong willingness and commitment, both the boards are now exploring their FTPs to find gaps so that we can agree on the dates.”

Ahhhhh disappointing but understandable

SA have a heavy workload...... but hopefully we can get some other team to come in this window and get SA to tour at a later date

their reason was atleast sensible ... rather than "middle east crisis" lol
 
Was bound to happen as I was surprised when the news broke out about the prospect of this happening as SA were playing and would literally not have much of a break.

It is understandable they have done it now as it needs to be managed better when their players are mentally and physically ready to tour when it is best and suitable for both parties.
 
Hopefully it is successfully rescheduled at a later time.
 
That they cancelled it due to work load, means they are happy with security. So touring in near future shouldnot be an issue.
 
This was always a possibility due to the time frame. PSL finishes on 22nd March, IPL starts on 29th March.
 
Its a busy year so understandable, good thing is they have no other concerns and can have the tour later. SA tour of Pak around Jan 2021 which in includes tests as well can completely happen in Pak too if things go as per the plan.

True. It was discussed on the possible tour thread as well that window was very limited.
 
Understandable

Also PCB needs to avoid trying to stuff teams into a schedule.

I would suggest that they try to arrange an ODI series with Ireland during the IPL
 
Poor planning by PCB. It was impossible to so many matches in March. There is PSL and then there is 2nd Bangladesh Test.

well ok then here's what should be done.

pull out of the asia cup. host south africa instead.
 
Far classier way to deal with this than Bdesh.

Quick, decisive decision to delay tour for legitimate reasons instead of creating and prolonging drama.
 
Understandable. Much love to SA - many came for the World XI. Also, they used to always be my second favourite team. Big fan of QDK; ABD; Jacques; Smith. But of course, it is the love for fast bowling that makes us kindred spirits - Donald; Pollock; Rabada; Ntini; Nortje; Philander; Morkel. Phew! So many greats in such a short period of time post-apartheid.
 
I forgot to mention Gary Kirsten. He used to be one of my favourite batsmen growing up. I still don’t know why, but I was a big fan of the guy in his playing days! And of course, Herschelle Gibbs, who was super, super talented

Agreed.

I’m not sure ACC even want PCB to be in the Asian cricket council. We are just a big headache for them
 
Did CSA not know about this workload a few weeks ago when all the signs were that they will tour.
 
No one wants to get injured just before IPL. Better it got “postponed” instead of a B or C team touring Pakistan.
 
What workload? Its only T20s for God sake. Just send a combo of your A team/under 19 and a few senior pros. That would have been good enough to give Pakistan a tough fight..

.missed opportunity for SA to nourish their new talent...
 
CSA AND PCB AGREE TO POSTPONE PROTEAS T20I TOUR

Friday, 14 February 2020

Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have agreed to postpone the planned tour by the Standard Bank Proteas to Pakistan for a series of T20 International matches.

“This has purely been done because of the heavy workload and international schedule our players are facing in the immediate future,” commented CSA Acting Chief Executive Jacques Faul. “I have assured my counterpart at the PCB, Wasim Khan, that the tour remains very much on our international schedule.

“I would also like to stress that security was not an issue in asking the PCB for this postponement. We will now work together to find an appropriate window in the international cricket calendar,” concluded Dr. Faul.

Why would that be?

Because they can’t seem to get things agree the way they would prefer especially with India in the mix and their added political tension.

India is the bigger draw anyways and they are the bread winners for the ACC. They can keep India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with Afghanistan emerging and make a decent amount of money with India and Bangladesh hosting the tournament.

Pakistan bring nothing much to the table. Might as well just scrap this

Good point.

I feel they have been kind to Pakistan in refusing to tour.

Boy their has been some amazing excuses to not tour recently,

‘The Iran-US war’
‘Work load’
‘No venue in Islamabad’
 
Honestly I think the biggest issue is the 4 days difference between their series end and our PSL ending. They don't want to stay in Pakistan and we're probably not too keen to spend money in Dubai for them to stay for 4 days. I think if that gap didn't exist then this tour would've happened. Anyway, this wasn't even planned until recently so I have no feelings about it either way.
 
We want to face South Africa at full strength. So it's better to delay the tour if they are having scheduling issues.

The PCB approached them first, they have wanted time to speak to the players about it before giving the PCB their final answer. Tbh its fine that the tour isn't going ahead, the PCB admitted it posed logistical challenges.

4 days in Dubai shouldn't be too big a deal, if it meant that SA would tour.
 
I believe South Africa will tour this year, at a later time. Not at all concerned about this issue.
Current Pcb has shown steadfastness and resolve in playing international teams in Pakistan, there revenue and earnings depend on this so have no problem I'm actually happy finally Pcb personnel took a stand after 10 years so this will happen in Pakistan. No more matches needed in UAE.

It is all well and good to take player workload excuse on good faith and in spirit of cooperation good that PCB and CSA making all right statements in media about only postponement and not cancellation.

But I do hope PCB have hammered out legal commitment with CSA to hold them to their word. Too many times such things have burned PCB in past.
 
I think South Africa will return. They are not too fussy about security like other SENA countries (Australia and NZ specially).

I guess it could be looked in multiple ways . . the talks were on going, but the main sticky point was which Wasim Khan himself admitted was that SA finish off their tour in India on the 18th and PSL runs until the 22nd . . that period of about a week in the middle was the issue and SA couldn't afford to go back . .

So while we can speculate, the main issue was put on the table before the postponement and its not really that surprising!

Was it an issue for pcb to put them up in Dubai for the intervening period?

I would guess not.

Maybe they asked the players about the tour and going to Pakistan and they suggested workload issues?

That's why these talks should be kept private. If the plans are confirmed, then great, you can announce it but it's nonsense seeing this talks and negotiations basically happening in public for something that may or may not happen.

You'd think that discussions with the players would take place first before any hints are given that they will tour.
 
Some lessons here for Wasim Khan too, to not jump the gun regarding big statements on possible tours.

KARACHI: Pakistan is hopeful of either touring or hosting South Africa early next year after a scheduled limited-overs series in October has been called off by Cricket South Africa (CSA) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pakistan were due to play a short series of ODIs and T20 matches in South Africa in October but the hosts have called off the series because of the ongoing situation arising out of the deadly virus.

But a source in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said CSA has conveyed to them that they are looking for a new window early next year to reschedule the series.

"There is also a good chance that if the situation does not improve in South Africa to have full cricket activities we will be ready to play hosts in say February before the Pakistan Super League," the source said.

Pakistan is due to tour New Zealand for a full Test and limited-overs series from late November onwards till January after which it has a window open before the PSL six begins around February 20.

The source said the board is also looking at a window to host the Bangladesh team for the remaining Test of the ICC World Test Championship and an ODI match around the same time.

"As far as both teams are concerned obviously the coming visit by the Zimbabwe team will be a test for us to see if we can hold international matches with ease and in the strict COVID-19 bio-secure protocol environment," he said.

He said Pakistan was in a position to host South Africa for a short series but if CSA manages to find a window and reschedule the October series, Pakistan would have no problems going there to play the matches.

Lahore: Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium and Karachi’s National Stadium are likely to host men’s team series against South Africa in January 2021, ARY Sports reported.

According to sources, the talks between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Cricket South Africa (CSA) have entered the final phase.

PCB has also offered Proteas to play matches in Rawalpindi. The series will comprise of two ICC Test Championship matches and three T20Is.

CSA will send a security delegation to Pakistan during the remaining Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 5 knockout phase to review the bio-secure bubble and SOPs placed by the PCB. Venues will be finalized on the recommendation of the delegation.

Meanwhile, both the teams were scheduled to play three ODIs and as many T20Is in October 2020 in South Africa but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the series was postponed. The series is likely to take place in March after the PSL 6.

It must be noted that South Africa last visited Pakistan in 2007 where they played five ODIs and two Tests.

InshaAllah

Best of luck PCB in making this happen.
 
Great news, security condition is very good it is probably as good as India maybe even better than india, hats off to all the security forces who played an important role in better security conditions. Coronavirus cases are kind of under control Proteas should definitely tour pakistan.
 
LAHORE: Cricket South Africa (CSA) has confirmed the schedule of its security delegation’s visit to Pakistan to inspect three cricket centres from Nov 1 to 8 for South African team’s planned tour to the country scheduled for January 2021.

The series will comprise two Tests and three T20 Internationals.

CSA confirmed the schedule of its inspection team at a time when their sports minister has issued an ultimatum to CSA for interference in the backdrop of a crisis CSA is facing in its management affairs.

CSA has faced strong criticism from sponsors and players, latter, accusing the board of ‘self-interest’ in failing to deal adequately with the contents of the internal report, and the postponement of an Annual General Meeting scheduled for Sept 5, which was to elect a new president after Chris Nenzani resigned in August.

England’s scheduled tour to South Africa for an ODI series later this year currently looks in the doldrums due to this ongoing crisis within CSA.

According to the schedule obtained by Dawn, the CSA inspection team will arrive in Rawalpindi on Nov 1 when Zimbabwe squad will be there to start the three-match ODI series from Oct 30 at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, one of the venues proposed by the PCB for the series against South Africa.

Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium and Karachi’s National Stadium are the two other venues to be inspected by the delegation.

The delegation will stay in Rawalpindi till Nov 3 to watch the last ODI between Pakistan and Zimbabwe and the next day they will be in Karachi to inspect the National Stadium.

In the last leg of the tour, the delegation will be in Lahore on Nov 5 and 7 to inspect the Gaddafi Stadium, where Zimbabwe will be playing the first T20 against Pakistan on Nov 7. Next day, the security team will fly back to South Africa.

It may be mentioned here that last time South Africa team toured Pakistan back in 2007. However, following the terrorist attack on Sri Lanka team in Lahore in March 2009, the PCB for several years organised all home series at the neutral venues of the UAE.

However, from 2015 the PCB managed to host the West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Kenya, World XI and the MCC teams. Pakistan has also managed to host three Test matches, two against Sri Lanka in 2019, which was the first Test series since the 2009 Lahore attack. Then one Test match against Bangladesh was also held. Still Pakistan’s one Test match against Bangladesh is pending as it was scheduled to be held in April this year but was postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic.

South African cricket team’s tour to Pakistan will be a very healthy sign as the PCB continues its efforts of holding all the home series in Pakistan instead of the UAE. In this regard, the PCB is planning to host New Zealand in September next year and Australia in 2022.

Seven South African cricketers featured in the HBL PSL-5 staged in Pakistan. Among them are world prominent fast bowler Dale Steyn, Colin Ingram (Islamabad United), Cameron Delport (Karachi Kings), Dane Vilas and David Wiese (Lahore Qalandars), Rilee Rossouw and Imran Tahir (Multan Sultans).

Earlier in 2017, five South African cricketers were part of the World XI, which toured Pakistan. Among them were prominent players like Faf du Plessis, Hashim Amla, Imran Tahir, Morne Morkel and David Miller.

Once England and South Africa tour, we can finally decline to play home series against Australia abroad, as they will be out of excuses.

Pcb have also engaged Pm imran khan who has requested aus prime minster about aus tour to Pakistan. So great to see they are doing what ever they can behind the doors.
 
Wonder if this will happen now considering CSA loosing control of the cricket and the government taking over

And how is that gonna help anyone?

Even when Pak were hosting every other team regularly throughout the 2000s (even India) , Australia didn't tour once. And that was back when Pak were a decent to goodish team.

The tactic you've suggested is only going to backfire spectacularly for the PCB.

I think they will have no choice but to tour considering the current political climate against racism and the BLM movement. Australians have a lot of image clearing to do. This isn’t the 2000s when it was not ok to do this but no many cared.

Not that I endorse the idea suggested by that posted, but there is very much a chance that Pakistan could be awarded the Test championship points for the scheduled games if Australia refuse to tour, especially if by then just about every other team is visiting. The difference in the 2000s was that there was no World Test Championship.

This is exactly what I was talking about and why it can backfire for Pakistan and PCB.

Australia can very easily just start avoiding fixtures against Pakistan in the Test championship like India are doing right now. I mean it may not seem too big a loss, but not playing against 2 out of the top 3 teams...... doesn't seem like a bright idea to me.

I'm asking you that. You are the one who brought it up.

Australian government has zero to minimum say in it's sporting affairs. The same is the case anywhere outside Asia barring South Africa (with the recent takeover). So, how does it matter if Australia has a 'fascist' government or not?
 
I'll say this again. Cricket Australia will happily avoid playing Pakistan in the Test championship if the PCB tries to push them (highly unlikely as I don't think latter are that stupid).

Its not PCB's unilateral decision to make. If any team feels they have security concerns, they will not tour. So either the series is cancelled or pcb hosts them elsewhere.

Definitely understandable and fair enough. However, when and if a neutral venue is to be used again its unfair for the home board to be bearing huge amount of costs for a neutral venue alone which PCB has done for last decade. Its only fair for either the cost to be shared or maybe ICC to finance some portion of it if thats the case.

In my opinion its not fair for the home board which is hosting other teams to be asked to bear all of heavy expenses because some teams are not comfortable with the security.

Why will ICC bear the cost? Afghanistan cannot play at home, plays in India. Bcci gives them free of cost stadium use. Icc doesn't fund them.

Will pcb share costs when pakistan tour Australia?


Better solution may be that pcb takes it in written when they schedule matches for the next round of test championship that the matches will be played in pakistan.

I may have read somewhere that pcb in its bilateral agreement with boards had agreed to play matches at mutually agreed venue. Not sure about this though.

Yes and PCB has been doing that for last decade by paying millions of dollars to for UAE stadiums. Situation is completely different now, no team is currently touring Afghanistan but teams have been touring Pakistan and more teams will possibly tour going forward. Just because one team doesnt feel like it without much factual justification, why should PCB still be bearing complete costs of a neutral venue. If it would have been the case like last decade where no team was touring then it was understandable.

If a team doesnt wanna play or have a fixture against Pak, its between them and ICC. Its just my opinion, people have right to disagree with it.

Touring Aus is not at all relevant as Aus doesnt have to bear any extra cost of neutral venue.

Karachi: South Africa cricket team is likely to arrive on January 20, 2021, as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has finalized the series of men’s team, ARY News reported.

According to the sources, the South African team will be on a visit to Pakistan from January to February 2021. The tour will consist of 4 weeks.

South Africa is scheduled to play two Tests and three T20Is. Three venues Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi are reportedly finalized.

Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) security delegation will arrive in Pakistan on November 1 to review the bio-secure bubble and SOPs placed by the PCB.

It must be noted that South Africa last visited Pakistan in 2007 where they played five ODIs and two Tests.

Meanwhile, England can also tour Pakistan for three T20Is before South Africa’s tour after PCB CEO Wasim Khan wrote a letter and invited England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to tour between 13-20 January 2021.

This present PCB administration gives off the impression of being very silent but they do a lot of hussling behind the scenes.
 
Excellent from the pcb if they can get both south Africa and england come to England for a tour that be excellent and superb
