20.01.2022 Hi Everyone. First and foremost we hope each of you and your families are staying safe and well. We're sure you're keen to hear more of what yesterday's announcements mean for cricket so we want to provide a few reassurances.... Cricket Victoria representatives are meeting with Sport & Recreation Victoria and VicSport today. A key consideration is how the latest restrictions determine the roadmap for a return to cricket (including training, wicket preparation, use of masks and travel restrictions). As you can appreciate, we want to make sure that any advice and guidelines coming from Cricket Victoria are correct. Please be assured that when we have clear information regarding the possible return to training and playing cricket, we will pass it on as urgently as possible. We expect to be able to provide an update to you in the coming days. We will also look to run further webinars for clubs, association and LGA's to reflect any updates. Please keep an eye on here and sign up to our Club & Association newsletter if you haven't already at https://www.cricketvictoria.com.au//club-association-news/. These will be your best sources of updates regarding the above.
