The Big Bash League will be trimmed down to 43 matches, 18 fewer than what it is presently, from the 2024-25 season. The revamp is part of a new seven-year domestic broadcast deal struck by Cricket Australia with Foxtel Group and Seven West Media. The length of the tournament has copped criticism since the premier Australian players seldom featured in the league.
CA said BBL content was decreased in the new deal to allow for “increased player availability, greater proportion of prime-time matches and stronger alignment with school holidays.”
