Former England skippers Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen on Wednesday questioned Australia’s decision to postpone their tour of South Africa.
Cricket Australia announced their decision to postpone the trip to South Africa, citing “unacceptable health and safety risk” in that country because of a fresh COVID-19 outbreak.

“The Aussies pulling out of the tour of SA is a huge worry for the game...Would they have pulled out of a tour to India is the question?” Vaughan tweeted.
Former star batsman Pietersen too slammed Australia’s decision to withdraw from the tour.
“No way @CricketAus would have not played India in a Test tour. It’s a really dark time in the world of cricket with CA cancelling their tour of @OfficialCSA. @englandcricket also pulled out of SA due to COVID issues, but players test positive in SL and tour goes on? [sic]” he tweeted.
