South African batter Khaya Zondo became the first player in international cricket history to be named as Covid-19 replacement of pacer Wiaan Mulder. It is to be noted that two Proteas cricketers tested Covid-19 positive  including Erwee and Mulder were tested on Monday morning after they reported feeling unwell.

“The team will invoke the Covid-19 substitution protocol that has been agreed between the two (CSA and Bangladesh Cricket Board) teams prior to the start of the tour, and in accordance with ICC protocols,” said CSA.

South Africa are on the verge of completing a clean sweep in the two-Test series, reducing the Mominul Haque-led visitors to 27/3 in the second innings at stumps on Day 3 at the St George’s Park on Sunday.

Bangladesh still need 386 runs for a win, which looks unlikely, given that their entire top order, including Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Najmul Hossain Shanto, was back in the dressing room in just 9.1 overs of Bangladesh’s second innings late on Sunday.
