WNCL expanded as part of new 12-month Australian cricket deal
WNCL set to be boosted by availability of Australian stars
The season will start in late September with the WNCL – which now sees teams play each other twice before the final – and the Marsh Cup. The Sheffield Shield then gets underway on October 3 with six rounds, before it breaks for the BBL with a resumption in early February, and the five-day final from March 23.Australia’s multi-format men’s players may struggle to make any Sheffield Shield appearances during the season, given there is the T20 World Cup in October and November, and then the tour of India in February and March. But those that aren’t in the T20I side should get a at least four matches ahead of the Test summer against West Indies and South Africa which starts on November 30.There will be 12 WNCL matches in the first part of the tournament ahead of the WBBL which will be in its October-November window, as with no international commitments, it is expected that Australia’s players will be available.The tournament, which is not entirely on a home-and-away basis, then resumes shortly before Christmas and concludes with the final on February 25, by which time those in the Australia side will be at the T20 World Cup in South Africa.The majority of the Marsh Cup – the men’s 50-over competition – will be played before the BBL, with the remaining rounds leading into the final on March 8.There will also be four underage tournaments throughout the season, with the women’s under-19 competition – to be staged in Perth in early December – particularly important given the inaugural Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup that will take place in January.The BBL and WBBL fixtures will be announced in the coming weeks.Australian domestic fixtures 2022-23Women’s National Cricket League
