Earlier today play was suspended in the Marsh Sheffield Shield match between South Australia and Queensland at Karen Rolton Oval due to concerns with the wicket.
Play was stopped 50 overs into Queensland’s batting innings after both umpires and captains raised concerns.
Ground staff began immediate remedial work and officials will inspect the wicket tomorrow morning ahead of a scheduled re-commencement at 10am local time.
Player safety is paramount, and Cricket Australia supports the decision taken by the match officials.
Further updates will be provided in due course.
