Major Changes in Big Bash the Australian T20 League

Cricket changes from time to time, which is also important. This is the reason that the next season of the Big Bash League (BBL), a famous Australian T20 league, may also see some changes in the rules. Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also decided to make some changes in IPL, but those rules were not implemented domestically, due to which those rules will not be applicable in IPL as well.

At the same time, if the reports are to be believed, there will be a lot of changes in the famous T20 league played in Australia. Former Indian batsman and current cricket commentator Akash Chopra has informed about the change of rules which can be seen in the Big Bash League next season. However, Akash Chopra has also confirmed that they are not yet official, but the organizers of BBL are considering it.

These changes can be seen in the Big Bash League

This league, which is played on kangaroo land, is less popular than the IPL, but to make it popular, the organizers want to make some changes to the powerplay of this format of 20-20 overs matches. The organizers want the first 6 overs of a T20 match to be known as the scheduled powerplay, but the first four overs in the BBL will be of the scheduled powerplay, while the bowling team can take the remaining two overs of the powerplay at any time.

Similarly, another rule is likely to be made that if A team scored 100 runs in the first innings and B team scored 101 runs in their first innings then a bonus point would be given to B team and A team would get a bonus if 101 runs were not scored. The third rule is such that if the bowling team during the match can field a special fielder in the entire match, that would be as a substitute.

One rule of BBL presumably is that both teams will get maximum breaks during the match. A rule can be made to give one break after every 5 overs in a 20-20 over match. Ad revenue can also be generated from this. Apart from this, the most surprising rule is that if the bowler bowls a wide ball, then the subsequent ball will be hit free, which is still only for no ball.
