Riley Meredith s return to state cricket has been delayed in bizarre circumstances after Tasmania revealed the fast bowler would have jeopardised Victoria s season if he were to play in Wednesday s Marsh One-Day Cup clash.
Tasmania had expected Meredith to play against an under-manned Victoria in the 50-over match at Melbourne s Junction Oval, but the tearaway will now join Ben McDermott (hamstring injury) and Matthew Wade (rest) in sitting it out.
Meredith shines on debut as Aussies win third T20I
Victoria head to Perth following matches in Brisbane next week and having contact with Meredith would have complicated their entry into Western Australia given that state s border is closed to New Zealand, from where the paceman returned on Sunday after Australia s T20 tour concluded.
The 31-year-old slowly made his way back to the pavilion, repeatedly shaking his head and scraping his thigh pad, indicating he did not edge the delivery. Steve Smith trudges off after being given out. The 26-year-old threw his head back in disbelief after the umpire raised his finger, shaking his head all the way to the sheds.
Marnus LOSES it over bad call: Sheffield Shield: Marnus Labuschagne was NOT happy with the umpire giving him out on this delivery and he let him hear it.
