Australia cricket split over BBL upcoming after selloff scheme stalls

SYDNEY: As Twenty20 cricket competitions explode around the world, Australia's Major Bash League is struggling to chart a outlook for the upcoming, after plans to privatise its franchises stalled.

Cricket Australia chief Todd Greenberg is adamant that outside stake is necessary to shore up the game's financial upcoming and retain pace with a boom in other well-funded leagues played in a similar time slot.

They contain the UAE's ILT20, South Africa's SA20, and Fresh Zealand's privately-backed NZ20 scheduled to initiate in December 2027, all bidding for the best local and overseas players.

"If those salary caps (of other leagues) are significantly higher than ours over the coming years, and players can gain more in those areas, then players will pursue those. That's a real threat to us," Greenberg told local media.

"I want to create sure that for Australian cricket, our ambition is to have a league that runs at the pivotal part of the year for us, which is the December-January window, and it's the best T20 league in the world at that instant in time.
