Peter Roach, CA Head of Cricket Operations and Scheduling said:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Leading into perhaps Australia\u2019s biggest ever summer of cricket, we are delighted to announce the schedule for our domestic competitions, where the depth and evenness of our teams remains very high.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With so much domestic cricket being played before our home marquee men\u2019s and women\u2019s international fixtures the opportunities for players to perform and put their name forward has never been greater. We are also sure to see many Australian team regulars turning out for their State teams as part of their preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast year we saw an epic end to our domestic summer with South Australia claiming an historic Shield title and they will be looking to go-back-back in both of the men\u2019s competitions, while New South Wales and the Hobart Hurricanes will be looking to continue their success in WNCL and the T20 Spring Challenge respectively.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are confident that scheduling games at a mixture of major stadiums and smaller venues will provide the best possible experiences for players and fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to the beginning of our domestic season on September 16 and thank the State and Territory Associations and the Australian Cricketers\u2019 Association for their ongoing support.”<\/span><\/p>\n
