Amid coronavirus fears, South Africa coach Mark Boucher said that the Protes could avoid the customary handshakes in their upcoming tour of India. Cricket South Africa had confirmed on March 6 that the Proteas will tour India despite concerns over the coronavirus.

During the tour, South Africa will play three ODIs. "With regards to handshakes and that type of stuff, it is a concern. You'll probably find that we'll do the same (as England)," sport24.co.za quoted Boucher as saying.
