As we approach the timing for a transition from cricket to football seasons, AFL Victoria and Cricket Victoria have confirmed the organisations will pursue the agreement shared publicly in May 2020.
Key aspects highlighted by both organisations are:
Of the 43 grounds currently used for Premier Cricket, only a minority of grounds will be used for finals. Some are sole cricket use, some shared with other sports and most are shared use grounds between cricket and football. These grounds will be prioritised for cricket finals under the existing agreement during that time:
Green = Potential use | Grey = confirmed not to be used
WEEK ONE – April 3/4 | WEEK TWO – April 10/11 | WEEK THREE – April 17/18 | |||
