MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and New South Wales has been delayed after a possible COVID-19 case involving Victoria all-rounder Will Sutherland.

Sutherland, the son of long-serving former Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland, had "returned a test result which requires further analysis", Cricket Australia said, causing organisers to hold off starting the game at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.
