It appears as though the big plans that were being made to forge a way to safeguard and build further excitement towards the Big Bash League have suddenly gone awry. Not all, after all, goes as per the plans or smoothly after all in modern or the contemporary world of the global game that cricket has become! And in midst of it all lies plans to privatise the Big Bash League aka the BBL that currently (as on date) seem to have fallen out of flavour.

And to elaborate more on that, the same have fallen out of flavour with no fewer than 3 Cricket Associations that the said proposals were pitched to out of a collective pool of 6 Cricket Associations in Australia.

And that’s down the reason that the said proposals have been said no to by as many as three Cricket Associations in the country.

What was needed to get a green signal for the way forward with regard to BBL plans was a pretty simple and inane task. The scuffle For that to happen, at least, 5 out of 6 associations were to have agreed to the plans that were being brought in for Big Bash League but now, 3 have already said no.

However, that is not all that there is to it! While it is already a known fact that no fewer than 5 cricket Associations in Australia out of 6 have expressed their displeasure with the proposal with regard to the Big Bash League, it appears that even certain cricketers have stepped in to offer or show their dissonance.

With all of that happening simultaneously, it could be said with a certain amount of perspective- not controversy or needless diatribe- that these are indeed rocky times for the world of Australian cricket. What’s further known is they the said cricketers who aren’t in agreement with the proposals pertaining to the Big Bash League haven’t even signed in on yet!

So with the privatisation plans haven’t gone as well as one would have liked to, the privatisation plans have thus been rejected with regard to the Big Bash League. On the part of the players, the concern is that they haven’t been quite earning as well as they would have wanted or expected to have made out of the Big Bash League.

Interestingly so, it was only a few days ago that star Australian captain all rounder Pat Cummins had been offered a lucrative deal to further represent Cricket Australia and now this!

To elaborate more on the subject, at this point of time what Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg shared late last month had apparently explained the hurdle.

The Cricket Australia chief was of the following opinion: 

"There may be a world where some want to do this, and some don't, or some want to do it now, and some want to do it in another time frame. Option A for us has always been that we do it at the same time to extract the maximum value in the market. But clearly we're not at that point. So we now have to reassess what comes next," Greenberg told reporters. We would have to get some deep analysis to understand the impacts on Australian cricket, because if you get back to the very objective that we started with, to do this, it needs to benefit the entire sport.”
