BBL 12 Schedule: Extra Matches Added With Entry Of International Stars

BBL is once again ready with high quality cricket. This time there are some new changes which will make the game world class and exciting. Cricket Australia (CA) is confident that big crowds will return to the Big Bash League (BBL 12) this summer, after two editions of the game came to a halt due to complications from the COVID-19. An overseas player will be drafted for the tournament, with former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis confirmed and more big names to be announced as soon as next week.

The official cancellation of the ODI series between Australia and South Africa in January this week has opened the doors for more international stars in the BBL 12 after the conclusion of the New Year’s Test at the SCG.

Last season’s edition ended on Australia Day weekend in late January, but this time the final will take place on 4 February. This is largely a trade-off for the tournament starting later in December, with the first game on the 13th. of the month as compared to December 5 last year. The opening of BBL 12 between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars will take place in Canberra.
