The SCG, Manuka Oval and the MCG were finalised as venues by Cricket Australia for the five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka that will be played between February 11 and 20.
Initially scheduled to be played in Queensland and Adelaide, the second, third and fourth T20Is have been relocated “to minimise biosecurity risks by reducing travel across the country,” CA said in a release.
“CA will continue to prioritise the health and safety of all players, match officials, staff, fans, broadcasters and the wider community as we navigate the challenges presented by Covid-19,” said Nick Hockley, CA’s CEO, on Thursday (January 20).
“We know that fans in South Australia and Queensland will be disappointed to miss out on these matches and we remain committed to bringing international cricket to all states and territories across the country as safely as possible. We thank Sri Lanka Cricket for working closely with us to make the series possible and look forward to five entertaining matches.”
