Matches scheduled for the NSW Men’s and Women’s Indigenous and Country teams in January have been postponed due to health advice regarding the coronavirus pandemic.
The NSW Women’s Indigenous team, NSW Country Bush Breakers and an SCG XI were scheduled to play a T20 Tri-Series at Bradman Oval, Bowral, on Saturday 16 January.
While the Men’s Indigenous team were scheduled to play three matches on 13, 14 and 17 January against Queensland Country, ACT/NSW Country and the NSW Country Bush Blues respectively.
Matches scheduled for 13-14 January were to be held in Canberra with the match against the Bush Blues at Bradman Oval, Bowral.
Current advice is to delay non-essential travel within NSW, especially between Greater Sydney and regional areas. Given the number of players and staff located in Greater Sydney, Cricket NSW believes this is the responsible decision for participants and the community.
The tournament is an important opportunity for the NSW Indigenous and Country teams, who are unable to represent their culture and region at the respective National Championships this season, and Cricket NSW will seek to reschedule the event for a suitable date in the future.
