Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket has decided to abandon the series due to New Zealand’s border controls and quarantine requirements said CA in a press release.
The short three-game series was at first arranged on the basis of the New Zealand Government’s plan to relax restrictions between the two countries.
“We thank NZ Cricket for making every effort to host the series but unfortunately it wasn’t possible given the border restrictions and quarantine requirements,” said CA CEO Nick Hockley.
“The three-game series has been cancelled due to New Zealand’s border controls and quarantine requirements.
We look forward to seeing the Trans-Tasman rivalry resume when we meet New Zealand in the #T20WorldCup opener later this year.” Tweeted the Australian cricket board.
