Border-Gavaskar Trophy vs India priority
“The date for the BBL 2026 final avoids a clash with the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Nagpur from January 21-25 and coincides with a public holiday. Australia’s all-format stars are unlikely to feature in the BBL this summer with the Test squad to leave for India straight after the four-match series against New Zealand, scheduled to conclude in Sydney on January 8,” CA stated in a statement.
