The ACT Meteors will play three games at Manuka Oval in six days next month after Cricket Australia was forced to rejig its Women's National Cricket League draw.
A positive COVID case by a Meteors pathway squad member forced the postponement of the team's season opener, which was due to be against powerhouse Victoria in Melbourne next Thursday.

That match will now be played on January 9 at Manuka Oval, wedged between a home clash against NSW on January 6, and a January 11 commitment with Victoria at the same venue.
Border restrictions between South Australia and Western Australia has also forced a reschedule of two fixtures between those states, which had been set to play twice in December.
They will now meet on March 1 and March 3 at the WACA.

"We look forward to the WNCL getting underway safely next week."
