No reason to call off UAE tour: Gerald Majola

South African cricket chief Gerald Majola has said the tour against Pakistan would go on as scheduled. Pakistan will play a full series against South Africa in Abu Dhabi and Dubai over October and November. Majola told cricket website that no player had expressed any reservations to the board about participating in the series. When asked what CSA's stance would be if any players chose to be unavailable, Majola said: "This is an official bilateral tour governed by the ICC FTP agreement, signed by all member countries, therefore it is an ICC-sanctioned match. The ICC has not cancelled the tour and are dealing with the matter through the ACSU. We therefore have no reason to call off the tour."
