CSA said in a statement on Thursday that the positive tests come after 50 players were tested for coronavirus ahead of a Proteas high performance men’s team culture camp in Skukuza.


"The testing is in line with fulfilling the organisation's obligation and commitment to control the spread of the virus.


"While both players are asymptomatic, CSA's medical team will continue to regularly follow up with them to ensure their health and well-being.”


Both players are now in self-isolation. 


Faf du Plessis is unable to attend the camp due to the imminent birth of his second child, while Theunis de Bruyn has now joined the team in Skukuza.
