WAGGA Cricket Association (WCA) could be forced to knock its grand final back a week if Cricket Australia gets its way.

Cricket Australia has apparently asked WCA to schedule a general bye over the weekend of March 28-29 to accommodate for the ICC World Cup final in Melbourne on the Sunday.

Wagga's cricket grand final was played on March 29-30 this year.

WCA operations manager Grant Geaghan explained Cricket Australia believes the weekend general bye will help generate a crowd at the World Cup final.

"We've got to leave the grand final date vacant for the World Cup final," Geaghan said.

"Cricket Australia asked us to do that so it looks like we might have to put our finals back a week.

"Originally we weren't going to do it but apparently a few Wagga people have already got tickets and want to go to the World Cup."

WCA is yet to finalise its draw for the upcoming season.

Geaghan has penciled in Saturday, October 11 as a start date but hasn't made it much further than that.

He plans to work on the draw over the coming fortnight and will take a draft copy to the next committee meeting on Monday, September 1.

"We just want to check a few things," Geaghan said.

"We need to consider the Sheffield Shield and a few other things that are happening."

Wagga will host a Sheffield Shield game in February and while the game won't be played on a Saturday, local officials are unsure when Cricket Australia will want Robertson Oval out of use.
