The Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association has revised its fixture after the first four days of the season have been called off.
The first three weeks were called off midweek with many grounds unplayable due to heavy rain falling.
There had been some hope of action on Saturday, but play was called off on Saturday morning after heavy rain on Friday night and Saturday morning.
VSDCA secretary Ken Hilton said with the loss of four days of play, the board had reviewed the schedule at the weekend.
“The feedback received from clubs since the washout on Saturday is, whilst all clubs would like to play two-day cricket, the clear majority want to play the 15 rounds,” he said. “Club representatives feel it is important that we endeavour to achieve this if we can.
“So with this in mind, the board has decided on the following changes to the first and second XI fixtures.
“The original fixture had first and second XI playing a mix of one and two day games (nine rounds) up to the Christmas-New Year break. The board has decided that we still retain the nine rounds but convert them all to one-day games.”
“In the new year we proceed as per the advertised fixture.”
All matches before Christmas will be played on Saturdays, except for round five which will be held on a Sunday.
He said changes to the third and fourth XI fixtures will be announced in the next couple of days.
