COVID-19 pandemic sends ODIs behind closed doors

Australia’s three-match men’s ODI series with New Zealand will be played behind closed doors, Cricket Australia announced today, while the World Cup-winning women’s side’s South Africa tour has been suspended.

Australia and New Zealand’s men will now play two matches in an empty Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday and Sunday, with a third match scheduled for next Friday at Hobart’s Blundstone Arena.

The matches will still be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo, while ABC and Macquarie will have the radio calls, but only accredited media and broadcast personnel will be admitted into the venues.

 

 

All fans who purchased tickets are eligible for a full refund. And while media and broadcasters will be allowed access, a precautionary perimeter between them and the players and team staff will be enforced.

 

CA has also confirmed the planned six-game tour of South Africa by the Australian women’s team has been suspended until further notice
