The SCG will not be ready to host Friday's Sheffield Shield clash between NSW and Tasmania due to the Roosters' training prior to the NRL grand final, according to Cricket NSW.

Both the SCG Trust and Cricket NSW confirmed via statements on Monday that the match would likely be moved to Drummoyne Oval due to concerns about the wickets surrounding pitch number one, which had been slated to host Friday's match.

"The SCG pitch square was damaged when the Roosters trained on it a fortnight ago ahead of the NRL grand final and it is not fit to host a first class match," a Cricket NSW statement read.

"This has also left doubt over whether the SCG can host the Marsh One-Day Cup match against Tasmania on October 23."
