A legal battle is looming over who has the right to decide where the Sheffield Shield cricket final will be held.

The Victoria Bushrangers finished on top on the table and would normally have the right to host the final which they will likely play against the Western Warriors.

But due to World Cup Cricket commitments, the Bushrangers' preferred site of Junction Oval is not available and they want to host the final at Bellerive Oval in Tasmania.

Western Australian Cricket Association CEO Christina Matthews said she was seeking legal advice as the rules clearly state that was not allowed.

"If Victoria can't provide a ground in their home state, the rules state the opposing team is offered the opportunity to nominate a ground in their state," she said.

"And that's what we plan on pursuing with Cricket Australia. It should be played in Western Australia at the WACA.

"We'll be seeking legal advice on the rule as it stands in the Cricket Australia playing conditions handbook and we'll be talking to Cricket Australia about our legal advice.

"At the moment, the view of Cricket Australia and Victoria is we didn't earn the right to host and therefore we shouldn't have that right, but in our view the rule is very clear."

Ms Matthews said she was told as late as Thursday afternoon the final would be played at Junction Oval and the Warriors did not have a problem with that.

"However, we do have a problem with it being taken to a ground that has nothing to do with Victoria," she said.

"It is the furthest ground possible from where we are and, as we're aware, doesn't have any accommodation of flights available for our whole team to go on as one.

"Our view is that if Victoria can't find a suitable ground in its home state it should be played in Western Australia at the WACA."
