The Indian cricket team will assemble in New Delhi on June 5 ahead of the five-match T20I series against South Africa.

 

The first match of the series will be played in New Delhi on June 9, with the visiting South Africans set to arrive on June 2.

There will be no crowd restrictions and there will be no bio-bubble for the series though players will be tested regularly for COVID-19.

The other venues are Cuttack (June 12), Visakhapatnam (June 14), Rajkot (June 17) and Bengaluru (June 19).

"The Indian team will assemble here on June 5 while the South Africans land in Delhi on June 2," DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda said.

The Indian cricketers are in the middle of a much needed break post a two-month long IPL.
