Worth noting Marnus leading the Kingsman to the final in their first ever season!
Which is a fair call. We don’t need the IPL running global T20 cricket for their exclusive benefit.
The right investors with the right controls from the states and CA’s end need to be put in.

Yeah it’s nice that they have gone away from their grounds basically being Rugby Stadiums masquerading as cricket grounds. Though in one case it was forced due to nature.

Australia’s best cricketers may quit the home summer to play in the lucrative South African Twenty20 tournament in January 2028 unless they can be paid internationally competitive salaries of about $1 million each to take part in the Big Bash League.
A group of senior players including captain Pat Cummins will seriously consider asking Cricket Australia for no-objection certificates to play in the SA20 in 2028 if they cannot be assured of what they see as fair market value for their services, according to two sources with knowledge of confidential discussions.

Brisbane Heat have put their hand up to be one of the first teams to play a BBL game overseas and open this summer’s tournament in India.
The challenge now is to establish which teams will go because only two sides can be part of the action.
Several of the BBL franchises have indicated they would prefer to be the away team in Chennai rather than giving up a home game.
The Heat are one of those, also hoping to have their five allotted home games at the Gabba.
BCCI approval will be crucial.

Wonder if like the NRL Magic Round and Las Vegas etc they get compensated
Yeah the home team will, CA will buy their game from them, giving them not only the ability to play it anywhere but get all the revenue from sponsorships.
I wonder how it will work with broadcasting?
