Cricket South Africa on Thursday reported two positive COVID-19 tests among national team players who were due to participate in a squad camp taking place this week, reports Reuters. 

CSA tested 50 players and officials prior to the camp, which began on Tuesday and runs to Saturday, and confirmed two positive cases among the group, without naming those infected. 

The camp is focused on team bonding and was arranged after CSA came under heavy criticism from some former players who claimed there was a culture of racism within the side. 

“There were no replacements made for the two players who tested positive. 

All those unable to attend the camp will join the proceedings virtually,” CSA said in a statement on Thursday.
