If Australian own players are not playing BBL because of low salaries then overseas star players won't come to play this league. Attitude of Aussie players with overseas players is also another reason why big players are not interested in joining BBL. Remember how Shane Warne behave with WIndies player in BBL.

Recently heard that CA are thinking of introducing draft system for foreign players in BBL, some foreign players might find this set up more interesting.  

IMO the main negative point for BBL is that their schedule is always clash with their own national team's fixtures. I find it weird that on one hand they play high profile series around nov-dec-jan (boxing day test etc) and also organise BBL.

They should change the fixtures so that they don't have any problems. And the drafting is going to attract more players in my opinion. But they will surely have to increase the salary of the players.



If the players from overseas are not feeling welcome it will be a big problem for BBL. Because in BBL they will have to play alongside the foreign players. In international cricket, the hostile situation between both teams creates more interest but in League cricket that is not the case and it is absolutely different.

The countries like USA and Canada and Abu Dhabi are mostly in other sports. If they try to make their teams. They have ample resources that they can bring some good teams forth - but than again - the other leagues are in competition who have been playing since ever. A good analysis though!

But, in search of revenue, the board itself is putting a lot of pressure on the players of Australia. Revenue is obviously going to be better because of this but really it is going to be bad for cricket.

You cannot expect a test player to play test cricket in the daytime and play t20 at night time on the same day. I am not saying that it is impossible but that is obviously not the optimal way to play for a player. They also have to really increase the salary of players in the BBL. Otherwise, it is going to lose a lot of popularity because great players are not going to be attracted. They should always first think about their players rather than the revenue.

A good review about Australian cricket and BBL but here we have one more issue this time Australians have no luxury of time like we have in the Sub-Continent so they have to settle this between their International tours so this is also a big issue for them and case they have no local Australian players secondly they are never been good in paying their salaries disputes has a long history so just this is another case mostly local players don't like to play this BBL.

I am watching Australian cricket for a long time and now they have never been good to pay and their many players leave just because of this and try to settle in England for better finances in cricket even right now mostly love to play IPL as they have very handsome income from this franchise.

But now good things happening many countries are offering franchise cricket which is helping these players for having good salaries even it is not possible for the player they can join them as bowling, batting and fielding coaches which is also have a good salary.

Even though some good things are happening for the cricket players around the world I think Australia should start validating their own players a little more. I don't know why they will not give players a good enough salary. The players are getting a lot of money from IPL and also other franchise cricket and that's why I think they are not saying anything. If they did not have that luxury I think there could have been some problems regarding this situation.

Cricket in India and Australia were completely different. Cricket is the national game of Australia, for the same we can't expect things to be same as India. In India they celebrate cricket and they celebrate the cricketers. In Australia they're common as you and me. So, making business out of India is an easier thing than the same being done in Australia. This is the reason why IPL is a big success and pay big for the players.

I think it actually should be like Australia. Cricket should be a  part of your life and not all of your life. But cricket being so popular in India also has its benefit. India is able to make so much money from cricket which is unbelievable. In Australia, cricket will never be as popular as it is in India because in Australia people play a lot of different games. There is a place for almost any game in Australia but that is not the case in India.

But that same thing can be said about football in this region. Football doesn't take either a lot of money or a lot of space so by that theory football should have been the most popular sport in this region but that is not the case.

I think it's just because people's tastes can vary because of different regions. The people of this region simply like cricket a lot. And you know that with football at least a good amount of open space is needed but with cricket that is not really necessary. So, that can be a reason why cricket is generally a lot more popular in this region.
