However, on 24 April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that no professional cricket would be played in England before 1 July 2020,[3] with the tour being postponed.[4] In May 2020, Clare Connor, the Director of Cricket for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), suggested that India could take part in a tri-series with the touring South African team during September 2020.[5][6] However, on 20 July 2020, reports stated that India would not tour, due to the impact of the pandemic in India.[7]
