ODI's to be played behind closed doors

Cricket Australia has this morning announced the 3 ODI matches vs New Zealand in Sydney on Friday and Sunday, and the match in Hobart on March 20, will be played in front of no fans.

It follows the cancellation of the World Cup winning Women's side's tour of South Africa.

The Australia v New Zealand ODI series will still be broadcast live, but only accredited media and broadcast staff will be permitted at the venues. A precautionary buffer will be placed between any broadcasters and the players.

All fans who purchased tickets to the matches are entitled to a full refund.
