A tour by the South African women's cricket team to England in September was cancelled due to the current international travel regulations in South Africa, Cricket South Africa announced.

"Cricket South Africa (CSA) have informed the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) that they will not be able to accept the invitation to tour the UK in September 2020. This decision was taken due to the current international travel regulations in place for South African national teams," a statement from CSA said.

CSA said that the 24 players who were selected for the tour will instead resume with their one-on-one training at their respective provinces. CSA added that a revised training schedule will be announced in due course.

CSA director of cricket Graeme Smith said the team was disappointed by the turn of events but noted that the health and wellbeing of the players and staff always took precedence.

"It is frustrating that another opportunity for our Momentum Proteas to play against top quality opposition has again had to be cancelled but as always the safety of our players and support staff is the prime consideration," Smith said.

In May, CSA and Cricket West Indies (CWI) postponed the women's ODI series between South African and the West Indies which was scheduled to be played at the end of that month, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March, Australia's tour to South Africa was cancelled as a preventive measure, also due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
