Cricket Australia has barred the use of most pyrotechnics in the ongoing Twenty20 series following Aaron Finch's near miss in Adelaide.
A flame-thrower was accidentally set off during the series-opening loss to South Africa on Wednesday night, with Finch going within a metre of being burned as he collected a ball.
The devices are usually dotted along the boundary, shooting flames after a wicket falls or a six is hit.
CA advised in a statement on Friday it is reviewing its operating procedures.
"We were very concerned by what took place at the Adelaide Oval and as a result we're now reviewing the operating and safety protocols of the flame units," CA general manager of operations Mike McKenna said.
"Until such time as were satisfied that there won't be a repeat incident, we will not be using flame units as part of any match presentation."
Australia's T20 captain Finch admitted he was shocked by the incident.
"Probably a bit more care has to be taken towards the players and anyone who is nearby," Finch said after Wednesday's game.
Separate pyrotechnics that line the players' entrance to the field will still be used.
