Australia’s domestic summer of cricket begins this week with the Marsh One-Day Cup and Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) both commencing on Friday, September 23.

The WNCL will expand to a 43-game fixture for the first time, while the Marsh Sheffield Shield and Marsh One-Day Cup will revert to full 31 and 22-game schedules respectively in 2022-23.

Six Marsh One-Day Cup matches will be broadcast on Foxtel across the first nine days of the season, while a strong contingent of Australian contracted players are available for WNCL before the competition breaks for Weber WBBL|08.

Please see below media information below for all three competitions.

VNR and highlights

Post-play interviews with one player from each team will be made available after most days of Marsh Sheffield Shield, Marsh One-Day Cup and WNCL matches and will be captured on the live-stream broadcast for all non-Foxtel matches.

Match highlights of the following will be made available:

  • Marsh Sheffield Shield: stumps highlights after each day’s play for each match
  • WNCL: match highlights for each match
  • Marsh One-Day Cup: match highlights for matches not broadcast on Foxtel

A maximum of 90 seconds of match footage may be used in TV news reports.
