Good news that IPL is returning to Australian TV, given several Australian cricketers are taking part in the competition every year.
I agree, very pleased about that, even though the time zone factor is most unkind to us, meaning most games start around 12:30-1 am.
Yeah, the only games I was able to watch last year were the few that started around 8:30pm eastern
Fox Cricket will show this season’s Sheffield Shield final from March 28-31. Melbourne’s Junction Oval will host the final after Victoria beat NSW in Sydney by 63 runs today, and are assured of top spot and the rights to host the decider.

Will the BBL be played prior to the final on Nov 15? Wouldn’t have thought so.
Cricket Australia is proposing the WBBL will start at an earlier period (late September) and run until end of December.
Men’s BBL tournaments will start on boxing day according to a news article.
September to December for WBBL is far too spread out. I think it will be from September to October.
