Cricket Australia (CA) has announced the timetable for the 10th season of Big Bash League which will feature complete fixtures of 61 matches in round-robin method and will be held over 2 months in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thi time BBL will start 2 weeks earlier than it did last year as Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades will play the opener on December 10. The final of the tournament will be concluded on February 6.
The opening match of BBL 10 is clashing with the start of India’s much-awaited tour of Australia as it will be played just after the stumps of Day 1 of the 1st Test at the Gabba, Brisbane.
The timetable that is widened over 60 days will also allow room for emergency for Covid-19. CA has said the league opener was brought forward following immense consultation with teams, broadcasters and other stakeholders.

With the start of BBL 10 clashing with the start of Border Gavaskar series, it is unlikely Australia’s Test stars, including Steve Smith and David Warner, will feature in the primary stages of the tournament. With the Pink Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground ending on January 7, 2021, top Test players are supposed to join BBL action only from the 2nd week.
