The Auckland Tuatara have withdrawn from the upcoming Australian Baseball League season due to concerns with Covid-19 restrictions, leaving their future in the competition in jeopardy.
New Zealand's only professional baseball club today formally confirmed their decision to opt out, having initially advised the league of their intent to sit out the season on Monday.
At that time, they were strongly advised to reconsider their position.
Having gone ahead with it, they could now face the wrath of the league, as withdrawing from the season is a breach of their licence agreement and could see that licence revoked.
Auckland Tuatara general manager Regan Wood joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to discuss the decision.
