The Big Bash League is one of the oldest cricket leagues in the world, and despite its world-class status, the league is limited to a majority of Australian cricketers. In order to grab more worldwide attention, Cricket Australia decided to bring in global investors on board.
The idea of the privatisation of cricket leagues is not a first for any board, as the ECB completely privatized the teams in The Hundred. Several Indian and American investors have bought stakes in the participating teams, and from the upcoming season, it will be a privately owned league with the ECB as the governing body. Cricket Australia desires a similar role.
