Australia’s international schedule may prevent http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Richard-Griffith-c41953 Bash to be held in time
After a serious dispute over players’ payment, Cricket Australia (CA)’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-Muchall-c1499-awaited Twenty20 League, Big Bash, came across with yet another controversy over the participation of Aussie Test cricketers in the championship.
The Australian Big Bash League is planned for next summer and the scheduling is still under process. The Twenty20 league will comprise of eight sides, Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat, Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades, Melbourne Stars, Perth Scorchers
and Sydney Thunder.
The governing body of Australian cricket wants national players to participate in the league as it will boost publicity.
However, the Kangaroos, on the other hand, have a very busy schedule ahead. After tours to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 at home by the end of this year.
In such circumstances, the involvement of national players in the Big Bash is still at question. Therefore, Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 is yet to draft the final schedule of the Twenty20 league.
"It's still being resolved. We're obviously keen for them to be available to play if the schedule and their physical shape allows it. They're the biggest names and the most popular cricketers in the country so we'd obviously like them to be a part of as
much as possible," said a CA spokesman.
Earlier, CA and Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) were engaged in a dispute over the players’ payment and the finalisation of the venues. While the payment clash is still unsolved, the international schedule of the Australian side has emerged as another
huge hurdle which might prevent Big Bash to be held on time.
"The coaches are just making sure they've got enough time after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 series and before the India series starting on Boxing Day. Even if it's agreed that players are available for certain matches, an individual assessment
for each player will have to be made at the time regarding injuries, workload and individual programmes,” added the spokesperson.
Admitting the fact that the inclusion of national cricketers will promote Big Bash, the spokesman clarified that it entirely depends on the players that how many matches they will be able to play.
