The final ODI in Sydney might be the final game for the Indian legend Virat Kohli on Australian soil, as he has already announced his retirement from the other two formats of international cricket.
The current Australian boss, Todd Greenberg, found it realistic to watch Virat Kohli play in the BBL sometime in the future, much like Ravichandran Ashwin; however, he agreed that much would depend on the league's privatization.
Such things might change if Indian investors can come and join the Big Bash League for its privatization, much like they did in South Africa, England, and the Caribbean.
“We’re going to keep the dialogue open. Ravichandran Ashwin's coming is a really important moment for the BBL, and it will highlight the strength, I think, of bringing Indian players into the league."
Greenberg confirms BBL privatization ahead of the upcoming season
Bringing a player of Virat Kohli's stature would come with a significant price tag, as the Indian legend is one of the greatest and most marketable sportsmen in the world. Cricket Australia would likely be making the decision over the league's privatization this summer, and Greenberg, too, has not kept anything unrevealed with his desire to make BBL the second biggest league behind the IPL.
"We should have aspirations to make sure the very best players, both here in Australia and globally, can play in the BBL. That costs money because players have leverage and the opportunity to play all over the world. So unashamedly we want to bring the very best players here," said Greenberg.
Pakistan players ready for an exciting summer in the BBL
Keeping aside Virat Kohli for some time, Greenberg assured the participation of Pakistan players in the BBL season this summer, with the likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf turning to Australia.
