Johannesburg, June 30: Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced that a 44-member men's high-performance training squad officially returned to training on Monday (June 29) following approval from the country's sports minister.

The players will train in small monitored groups with identified coaches from their nearest franchise teams, CSA said in an official statement.

Our prevention program, besides the regular testing of players and support staff, is predicated on personal hygiene measures and creating a sanitised ecosystem," CSA Chief Medical Officer, Dr Shuaib Manjra said.
