Upcoming ODI, T20I Series Postponed
Wednesday, January 19
One-Day International
New Zealand’s men’s white-ball tour to Australia, scheduled for January 24 - February 9, has been postponed until further notice due to New Zealand’s border controls, quarantine requirements and the resulting uncertainty over when the squad would be able to return to New Zealand.
Cricket Australia (CA) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) will discuss when the postponed fixtures can be played.
CA will confirm the schedule for the Dettol T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka in coming days.
Nick Hockley, CA CEO, said: “We are extremely disappointed that we won’t be able to play the scheduled matches against New Zealand as planned, however we will continue to work with New Zealand Cricket to reschedule the series.
“We thank NZC, who made every effort to make the series happen, however because they were unable to get certainty over return quarantine arrangements, it is simply just not possible at this time.
“We know fans will be disappointed and thank them for their understanding given the unique circumstances that the global pandemic presents for everyone.
“We look forward to welcoming Sri Lanka to Australia next month and will confirm the schedule for that series as soon as possible.”
Ticket purchasers for all matches that have been postponed will be fully refunded and will be contacted directly by the relevant ticket agent.
