Cricket Australia cancels end of season

According to AP, all professional cricket has been canceled in Australia in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and national organisers are strongly recommending that the season be called off at every level right down to children's community games.

Cricket Australia Chief Executive Kevin Roberts said the measures are aimed at slowing the spread of the virus.

"By effectively canceling the remainder of our season, Cricket Australia is playing its part in protecting fans, players, staff, volunteers and match officials during this unprecedented global health issue," Roberts said.
