Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Wednesday announced a revised date for the 3TCricket match, where three teams of eight will compete for the inaugural Solidarity Cup. It will now be held on July 18, which is also celebrated as Nelson Mandela International Day.
The news comes after the Minister of Sport, Arts & Culture, Nathi Mthethwa, granted approval for return to practice and play last week.
The fixture a chance for the country's leading players to get some game-time, but will also raise funds for charity. It will be played in an empty stadium and is a test for CSA’s protocols for a return to play for the domestic games.
