First is was rain and wet weather, but now its the heat that is causing the Victorian Turf Cricket Association to cancel action.
With temperatures scheduled for high 30s and early 40s on Saturday across Melbourne, all matches have been cancelled.
“The VTCA has cancelled all matches tomorrow, Saturday 24 January, in line with the extreme heat policy,” Keilor said on its Facebook page.
“The decision has been made to prioritise the health and safety of players, officials and volunteers given the forecast conditions.”
All two-day matches will revert to a one-day game next Saturday.
Teams participating in Sunday competitions will still go ahead as scheduled with temperatures expected to be in the mid-20s.
