It does reflect badly on them, but for once it might not actually be their fault as it depends on who was tasked with creating and maintaining a COVID-free zone, and CSA may not have been directly responsible for that. If it's hotel staff who have tested positive then the hotel may be the guilty party here.

According to the BBC “Two members of the England party returned unconfirmed positive tests.” Slightly vague.

Some of these England players have been in some sort of lockdown bubble since pretty much the start of the English cricket summer, with the IPL coming straight after. I know it's not the worst thing happening at the moment, but this is going to be pretty tough on the mental health.

Aggers, one of the nicest chaps in cricket and possibly the most equanimous man ever to bowl seam up in tests, is positively fuming by his own mild standards:

The attitude of SA people to the whole pandemic is pretty blasé and relaxed. I was surprised that England were even happy to come play, as the entire country is a **** show. There was no hope to keep a secure bio-bubble with the no of infections. People here pretty much ignoring most sensible measures and doing what they want.

How hard it is seems like a recurring theme in nearly every interview an England player has done in the last few months.
I feel especially for the guys like Banton and Ali. Spent most of the last 6 months in bubbles, out of form and rarely playing. England certainly need to make sure the support structures are in places for these guys in particular imo.
Least guys like Buttler and Archer have been playing whilst stuck in the bubble structure.

"Please be advised that the England cricket team has not adhered to the arrangements as agreed by all in the ESSPC [Event Security and Safety Planning Committee] meetings," the email read. "The practice nets next to the construction site is not allowed to be used on practice days. Three cages of nets was set up on the square on the field. This serves to inform you that the England Cricket Team has accessed and used the nets today (3 December 2020) at their own risk. WPCA and the ESSPC will not be held liable or responsible for the safety and health of the England Cricket Team."
