Although there is no set date for its return - with clubs currently working through return-to-play protocols - Seymour District Cricket Association president Ben Trezise said the league hoped to have more clarity within the next month, with a possible start date penciled for late October to early November.
Trezise said he also expected the season would be made up entirely of one-day games.
“Cricket Victoria recommended all clubs play one-day games due to the fact if something does happen it won't change the game outcome,” he said.
“We take on all recommendations, so it probably would be a one-day competition.”
Trezise said the association was now in the process of working with its clubs to implement individual COVID-19 plans before a return to training can occur.
“Cricket Victoria put out their plan last Friday,” Trezise said.
“All clubs will have to put in a COVID-19 plan via these protocols sent out and they need that approved by local council.”
Trezise said Cricket Victoria's return-to-play guide - a 25-page document which was guided by consultation with the state government - gave associations clear steps to take to implement a season safely this summer.
Cricket Victoria also held a webinar on Saturday to run through its plan, with more than 150 clubs from regional Victoria attending.
“This is the outcome and if we want to play cricket, we need to do this,” Trezise said.
“Cricket in a pandemic is not a right, it's a privilege, so these steps must be put in place.”
In the return to play document, Cricket Victoria outlines guidelines surrounding training and match days, as well as hygiene, travel and facility access.
Trainings should be limited to groups of no more than 10 people, although these groups can train in different areas of their grounds.
It is also expected that no spectators can attend senior games, but they will be allowed at junior matches.
Clubs will also need to look closely at their numbers for the season ahead, with players only able to be sourced more locally.
“If players live in Melbourne, they can't play out of our clubs, so this may leave some clubs short,” Trezise said.
“Clubs will need to work out their numbers, and once they let us know, we'll know how many teams we have and we can work on a draw.
“Clubs are also starting to prepare wickets, which can take about two-to-three weeks.
“Hopefully we can get up and running sooner rather than later.”
But despite the hurdles clubs are having to jump to return to the field, Trezise said feedback continued to remain positive.
“All the clubs are keen. A lot of the guys who play cricket missed out on the football season,” he said.
“Any sport up and running at the moment is good for our community.”
