Cricket in World War II
Cricket in World War II was severely disrupted in most of the countries where first-class cricket is played. Only in India was a normal schedule of matches maintained throughout. In Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa and West Indies the normal first-class competitions were suspended for some or all of the war and a small number of ''ad hoc'' first-class matches were organised when possible.
==Australia==
Although Australia declared war on Germany immediately after the British declaration on 3 September 1939, there was a view prevalent in the country that favoured “business as usual” and the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) was urged by the Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, to comply with this and stage the 1939–40 Sheffield Shield competition "for the morale of the people".〔Harte, p.382.〕 In 1940–41, however, the Sheffield Shield was not contested but ten first-class “friendly” matches were played between the States for patriotic funds;〔‘Sheffield Shield Cricket Cancelled’; ''The Courier-Mail'', 10 July 1940, p. 1〕 however financially these were unsuccessful.〔‘No Inter-State Cricket’; ''The Age'', 3 July 1941, p. 3〕
During the 1941 off-season as the war position worsened there were already proposals by the New South Wales Cricket Association to end inter-state cricket whilst the war was in progress;〔 however at the beginning of the 1941–42 season Queensland beat New South Wales by nineteen runs in the first of seven scheduled three-day interstate matches.〔(Queensland v New South Wales in 1941–42 )〕
