The Ashes finale scheduled for January 14, 2022, at the Perth Stadium is doubtful due to Western Australia (WA) state's strict Covid-19 policies. Western Australia Cricket Association chief executive Christina Matthews said that fear is now growing that WA's tough border stance could result in the contest being moved away from Perth.

"I'd probably say at the moment I'm 50-50," she told ABC Radio, adding, "I'd gone as high as 97% but I've gone back to 50-50. We'll wait and see. The Western Australia state government would need to relax some restrictions for the Test to go ahead in Perth."
