Sydney, March 15: Cricket Australia on Sunday announced that the final round of the domestic cricket tournament Sheffield Shield has been cancelled and a decision on whether to go ahead with the final in 12 days' time is yet to be made. The decision has been made in the wake of the global crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

"At times like this, cricket must take a back seat for the greater good," said CA chief executive Kevin Roberts. "We have been in consultation with relevant government agencies, our own medical team and an infectious diseases expert for quite some time now, and we have taken all their advice into account in making these decisions.
