The South Africa vs Sri Lanka Test series has been plagued immensely by the coronavirus pandemic. The South African cricket team, in particular, have been the worst affected as the coronavirus bubble initiated by Cricket South Africa has seen plenty of mishaps. There was a domestic game in South Africa which was abandoned after five players tested positive for the coronavirus. In that match, there were some of the Test players in the South Africa team and they have gone into isolation. The lack of social distancing norms among the South Africa players has seen them suffer, with one tour of England already cancelled after some ccoronavirus positive cases in the South Africa camp. With the series part of the ICC World Test Championship, both teams will be hoping that the tour goes ahead without any mishaps.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka have been in isolation and will be playing their first Test series in over a year after their two-Test tour of England was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Sri Lankan team will be looking to better their exploits of 2019 in which they became the first Asian nation to win a Test series in South Africa as they won 2-0. In that series, Kusal Perera’s magnificent 153 and his last-wicket stand of 76 with Vishwa Fernando helped Sri Lanka win the Durban Test by one wicket.
