Aaron Finch Welcomes Extra Matches As Australian Cricketers Face Busiest Season On Record

Aaron Finch, captain of Australia바카라s limited-overs squads, said that the extra matches would help players getting into form.

Australia is preparing for its busiest international cricket season on record with the men바카라s national team scheduled to play 22 matches across three formats as well as the Twenty20 World Cup in the southern summer of 2022-23. (More Cricket News)

Cricket Australia released the schedule Monday, with the men바카라s team opening their international season with three-game one-day international series against Zimbabwe and against New Zealand in northern Queensland state in late August and September.

The men바카라s team will then play T20 series against West Indies on the Gold Coast and against England in Brisbane and Canberra before the October 16 to November 13 ICC T20 World Cup, which is being held in venues across Australia.

The Australians will wedge a three-game ODI series against England in between the World Cup and a two-match test series against West Indies that starts on November 30 in Perth.

South Africa will visit for a three-test series starting December 17 in Brisbane and a planned three-match ODI series from January 12-17.

Australia usually starts the test series at the Gabba in Brisbane but Cricket Australia is experimenting with changes because the venue will be unavailable at stages during the next decade while it is renovated to host the 2032 Olympics.

바카라We know the Gabba바카라s going to be offline for a couple of years,바카라 Cricket Australia바카라s head of operations and scheduling Peter Roach said. 바카라Taking the chance to look at some different opportunities when we바카라ve got the chance to us makes a bit of sense.

바카라We바카라ve got a very good record in Perth too. Moving away from fortress Gabba is not something that scares us.바카라

Australia holds the women바카라s and men바카라s T20 World Cup titles, with the women바카라s team beating India in the final at Melbourne in March 2020, before the global shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Australia beat New Zealand last November to win the men바카라s title in a tournament that was delayed a year because of the pandemic and shifted to the United Arab Emirates.

Aaron Finch, captain of Australia바카라s limited-overs squads, said the extra matches would help players getting into form.

바카라It바카라s such a busy schedule of cricket,바카라 he said, 바카라There바카라s a lot of time to be able to build and I suppose get back into the groove of one-day cricket especially 바카라 I haven바카라t played a huge amount of that over the over the last little while.바카라
