South Africa's three-match one-day international series in India later this month will go ahead but strict protocols will be put in place amid the growing threat of the coronavirus.

Thirty-one cases of the disease have been confirmed in India, with more 90,000 across the world.

The Proteas will head to South Asia, an area of the world particularly affected by the outbreak, for a trio of 50-over matches on March 12, 15, 18 in Dharamsala, Lucknow and Kolkata.

Cricket South Africa have issued a statement confirming that the matches are all set to go ahead, but that special measures will be taken to protect their players.

The squad will travel to India via Dubai and spent a day in Delhi, before travelling to each of the three playing venues where no positive cases have been confirmed.

Their journeys will be completed via plane in each instance in an effort to further reduce any possible exposure to the disease.
