The country’s cricket board said on Monday that South Africa’s T20 Mzansi Super League has been canceled for the second time due to the Kovid-19 epidemic.
The Mzansi Super League was scheduled to be held in February, but the board said it was forced to call off due to travel restrictions imposed by several countries on South Africa following the emergence of the Omicron version.
The 2020 edition was also canceled due to the challenges posed by the pandemic.
“The decision to cancel the 2021 edition of MSL is to allow CSA and its strategic partners to conduct a post-COVID-19 tournament review and review to regain their market and commercial position.
“For this purposes, the MSL slot will again be replaced by the domestic CSA T20 Challenge, which will feature 8 (eight) Division 1 teams and the tournament will take place in February 2022,” said CSA’s acting CEO Foletsi Mosecki.
