The Quinton de Kock-led South African team today checked into a Kolkata city hotel near the airport as the Cricket Association of Bengal took all precautions for their safe return home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

After their three-match ODI series was called off due to the virus outbreak, the South African players and the support staff stayed put in Lucknow where the second match was slated.

They had the option to fly out from Delhi but they preferred Kolkata as the Eastern metropolis was yet to record a single positive case for COVID-19.

Cricket Association of Bengal said that full arrangements have been made so that the South African players return home safe. A three-member medical team looking into their arrangements.

The visiting team is flying out to their respective destinations in South Africa tomorrow morning via Dubai.
