Multiple COVID-19 outbreaks inside bio-bubbles threw Australia’s domestic leagues into chaos on Tuesday as cricket administrators grappled to keep their respective schedule on track while players complained of anxiety. 

Both the men’s and women’s domestic games were hit hard and Cricket Australia (CA) was forced to make many late schedule changes. Two matches of the Women’s National Cricket League involving Western Australia were postponed till March due to border closures after a spike in COVID-19 cases. This has pushed the women’s domestic 50-over final to mid-March.
