Under-19 Test abandoned

England Under-19’s one-off Test against their South Africa counterparts has predictably been abandoned without a ball bowled following days of heavy rain.

Umpires Zed Ndamane and Brad White had little alternative but to call the match off this morning with Willowmoore Park in Benoni still unplayable.

The result means coach Andy Pick’s side will fly home without the opportunity to gain revenge for defeats in the one-day and Twenty20 series.
