At the same time, we need to ensure there is appropriate rest periods between matches and the right opportunities for players to participate in Premier Cricket," he added.Marsh One Day Cup will have seven matches per team whereas, in the Sheffield Cup, each team will play six matches prior to Christmas.Cricket Australia also announced the England Lions men's team will be touring Australia in February and early March, and they will play five one-day games and three four-day Test matches.( With inputs from ANI )
