The changes to the WNCL schedule have been made due to the ongoing public health situation and relevant state border closures. Cricket Australia will continue to monitor the situation and any impacts this may have on the remainder of the WNCL schedule.

The WNCL season will now begin on January 25 with South Australia hosting Tasmania at Karen Rolton Oval. The Final remains scheduled for March 27.

Peter Roach, Cricket Australia’s Head of Cricket Operations, said:

“The changes to the WNCL schedule have been made to give us the best possible chance of completing a full season.

“We’d like to thank the State and Territory Associations, players, staff and the ACA for their flexibility and understanding as we navigate the challenges of the pandemic on our summer schedule.”
