The government of Victoria has imposed Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne.
MCG was scheduled to host WBBL, and BBL, domestic, and international cricket during the cricket season.
- How will these games be impacted?
- If there are other cricketing stadiums in Victoria, then could they host the games, or would all the scheduled games be moved out of Victoria?
- Has Cricket Australia commented on the restrictions as yet?

The state has imposed significant restrictions on movement, and gathering of people. I quote from the release.
From 6pm tonight, Melbourne will also move to Stage 4 restrictions with stronger rules to limit the movement of people – and limit the spread of this virus across our city.
That includes a curfew – from 8pm to 5am – beginning tonight. The only reasons to leave home during these hours will be work, medical care and caregiving.
Where you slept last night is where you’ll need to stay for the next six weeks. There’ll be exemptions for partners who live apart and for work, if required.
New time, distance and gathering limits will also apply for exercise and shopping.
Exercise will be limited to a maximum of one hour per day and no more than five kilometres from your home. Group size will be limited to a maximum of two – you and one other person – whether you live with them or not.
Entering stage 4 is a serious situation, and you would need to create a most secure bubble for any cricket to take place.
