Mumbai/IBNS: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been working closely with the Government of India along with Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) in the wake of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, a BCCI statement said on Thursday.

After holding discussions with the MYAS and MOHFW, the BCCI on Thursday announced that the remaining two One-day Internationals (ODIs) of the three-match series of South Africa tour of India, 2020, will be played without any public gathering, including spectators.

The World Health Organisation (WHO), on Wednesday, assessed that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.

"The BCCI is making every effort for compliance with the regulatory bodies of the Government of India and ensure the safety of our athletes and valued fans," he said.

"The BCCI will continue to take guidance from the Government of India and state regulatory bodies," it added.
