Australia\u2019s T20 series tour to New Zealand has been called off as there were no isolation quarantine spots available for the visitors. The three-match T20 series has been called off. The border concerns have also been a major problem for the Trans-Tasman rivalry to happen.<\/p>\n
Border controls were also a major issue to cancel off the series as both the teams arranged the series believing that the government would relax the restrictions at the border for the series to play in Napier. Napier would still be witnessing international cricket as the New Zealand vs Netherworld T20 game on March 25 has been shifted from Tauranga\u2019s Bay Oval to McLean Park.<\/p>\n
New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White believes that the \u2018Omicron virus\u2019 has made it tough and has changed situations at the border to allow the teams to continue with the series. The remaining schedule remains unchanged for team New Zealand as the NZW have started their series against INDW on Wednesday while men\u2019s series against South Africa and Netherlands are scheduled without any changes. The women\u2019s 50-over World Cup remains unaffected by the border concerns.<\/p>\n
