CA confirms full fixture for BBL 10 | Cricket Australia announces schedule for Big Bash League 2020 | BBL 10 schedule
Cricket Australia (CA) has finally announced the schedule for the second-half of the Big Bash League, after announcing the December schedule a few weeks ago. The cricket board announced that Perth, Melbourne and Sydney will see extensive cricket and every club will play in front of their home fans this summer.
This news comes as CA has had to keep an eye on COVID-19 developments around the country, which look promising as the states are doing their best to keep things under control.
CA’s Head of Big Bash League, Alastair Dobson, described the BBL 10 fixture as “the boldest schedule in Australian sport since the pandemic began. This schedule is a testament to the strength of the League and ensures our fans around the country will get the chance to see their KFC BBL clubs in action on home soil,” Dobson said.
Earlier, CA had confirmed venues for matches that were put in line for December at that point due to uncertainties imposed by the pandemic. In today’s full fixture they have confirmed that five matches will be played at Perth’s Optus Stadium, including four Perth Scorchers games, while Sydney will host eight games as well as the 11 in Melbourne.
“On top of what had previously been announced for December, there are also three additional matches for the Adelaide Oval, two more at the Gabba, four more at the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium and another two at Blundstone Arena in early January. The BBL will roll into Melbourne from January 14 when the Melbourne Renegades host the Brisbane Heat in the first of five games at Marvel Stadium. The summer’s first Melbourne Derby clash will see the MCG will host its first BBL|10 match on January 17, with the fixture to be repeated at Marvel three days later on January 20”, said the official statement.
