After a considerable break, domestic cricket in Australia resumes with the 2020/21 Sheffield Shield, the 119th season of the first-class tournament — here’s the complete list of fixtures for the first four rounds of this season’s competition.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions in the country, the first round of the 2020/21 Sheffield Shield fixtures will be held in four venues in Adelaide. The first round between New South Wales and Victoria will begin only on November 17, owing to further restrictions, and a 14-day quarantine requirement in Victoria. The remainder of the competition will be held after the 2020/21 Big Bash League.
Here’s how you can follow all the Sheffield Shield 2020/21 matches, including live stream details.
