Cricket Australia on Tuesday put off the three-match Test tour to South Africa scheduled for March citing a high risk to players with the coronavirus rampant in the country.
While Australia even named their Test squad last week with intent to fly, the recent outbreak in South Africa accelerated by a new variant made them change their plans.
The country has the highest number of cases and death in the continent with almost 1.5 million detected infections and more than 44,000 fatalities.
