CA defers contract list by one month
Cricket Australia's contract list announcement will be pushed back at least a month as the game prepares to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.
Officials had planned to bring forward the announcement of contracts from May to April this year, in a bid to provide more certainty to the states given the flow-on effect.Contracts run on a financial year basis until the end of June, however, announcing the women's list on Wednesday and men's on Thursday would have assisted all parties.But that plan has been put on hold for now until the end of April, given the economic uncertainty due to the pandemic.The Australian Cricketers' Association agreed to the move.Australia are due to tour Bangladesh in June and England in July, with both those series now in serious drought.CA have been largely unaffected by the crisis for the 2019-20 financial year.
