"The return of the Marsh Sheffield Shield is a major milestone for our players, fans, partners and everyone involved in Australian cricket," Ginn said.
"So much work has gone into bringing this Marsh Sheffield Shield season to life in these extraordinary times and I would like to thank everyone at CA, the Australian Cricketers' Association, States and Territories Associations and the South Australian Government for their tireless work and commitment to staging this important tournament.
"We're also sincerely grateful for the support of our partners who have helped make this season happen. This includes Kayo, whose customers will relish the chance to watch outstanding red ball cricket on home soil. Similarly, we thank Marsh for their guidance as our long term risk management partner, and as series supporters. Through good risk management we've been able to make this season a possibility.'
"The Shield has a rich history as the world's premier First Class cricket competition and this season's tournament will showcase some of the finest talent in the game globally. We can't wait to get under way this weekend."
Kim McConnie, Marketing Director, Kayo, said:
"The Sheffield Shield is the breeding ground of our future stars, and we are thrilled to be able to bring the opening four rounds live to more fans across the country," McConnie said.
"Featuring a mix of the country's most established names alongside the next generation of talent, the domestic first-class competition adds to Kayo's extensive line-up of the best local and international cricket. And with national spots still up for grabs ahead of the upcoming international cricket season, the stakes will be high."
