Cricket Australia has today confirmed an adjustment to the 2021-22 Women’s National Cricket League schedule.
Two fixtures between Western Australia and South Australia scheduled for the WACA Ground on December 17 and December 19 have been postponed due to border restrictions between the two states.
The matches will now be played on March 1 and March 3 at the WACA Ground.
Several matches between the ACT, Victoria and New South Wales have been rescheduled after a player in an ACT high performance program tested positive to COVID-19.
A number of ACT players and staff, including Meteors players, have been tested and are undergoing a 7-day quarantine as per ACT Government directives. All tests have come back negative.
The fixtures have been moved to allow the ACT Meteors sufficient time to prepare for their matches.
Peter Roach, Cricket Australia’s Head of Cricket Operations and Scheduling, said:
“The safety and wellbeing of players, match officials, staff and fans remains our top priority as we endeavour to deliver the entire 29-game WNCL season,” he said.
“We look forward to the WNCL getting underway safely next week and thank the States and Territories for their flexibility and understanding as we navigate scheduling challenges.”
