While they were able to win the ODI series, the hosts faced crushing defeats in the T20I and Test series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Tuesday, Cricket Australia announced that Australia&#39;s tour of South Africa next month has been postponed due to the ongoing situation with regards to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After that, Cricket South Africa expressed their disappointment, with CSA director of Cricket Graeme Smith saying Cricket Australia&#39;s decision was frustrating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We are extremely disappointed by the decision of CA. CSA has been working tirelessly in recent weeks to ensure that we meet every single expectation of CA,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This was set to be the longest tour in a BSE comprising a three-match Test series that was scheduled to begin with Australia&#39;s arrival later in the month. So to be informed about the CA decision at the eleventh hour is frustrating,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Then on Wednesday, Cricket Australia&#39;s interim CEO Nick Hockley revealed that an offer was made to host the Proteas for the Test series Down Under but Cricket South Africa declined, citing other commitments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>CA&#39;s decision has jeopardized Australia&#39;s hopes of participating in the inaugural World Test Championship final slated to be played at Lord&#39;s, London in June.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tim Paine-led side is now relying on a series of results through England&#39;s four-Test series in India, beginning Friday, to potentially face New Zealand in the WTC final.<\/p>\r\n",
