BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal said that India's tour of South Africa remains on track.
After playing the final Test against New Zealand in Mumbai on December 3, India will depart for Johannesburg on a chartered flight on December 8th or 9th 2021.
Dhumal expressed confidence the bio-bubble environment created by South Africa will keep the players safe. The first Test will be played in Johannesburg from December 17.
"We stand with them, the only thing is we won't compromise on players' safety. As of now we have a chartered flight going to Johannesburg as scheduled and players will be in a bio bubble," Dhumal said.
On the possible change of venues within South Africa to deal with the risk, Dhumal said: "We are in constant touch with the Cricket South Africa (CSA) officials”.
“Whatever best we can do to not compromise the series we will try and do but if situation aggravates and if it compromises our players' safety and health, we will see”.
"In the end, whatever is the Government of India advisory, we will abide by that," said Dhumal.
The revised guidelines of the Indian government categorize South Africa as an "at-risk" country. India A has stayed back in South Africa until the series is complete.
South Africa's foreign ministry has also assured that a "full bio-secure environment" will be created for the Indian cricket team when it lands here for the highly-anticipated series next month.
India will play three Tests, three ODIs, and four T20 matches during the tour.
