Summary
Cricket Victoria just stunned the league by merging their Big Bash teams, the Renegades and the Stars — a move that could unlock Canberra’s long-shot dream of its own team. After last year’s $90 million bid from Greg Boorer, CEO of a major tech firm and Cricket ACT’s big advocate, was rejected by Victoria and NSW, the door may now swing open. With Cricket Australia’s privatization push and a looming deadline to finalize broadcast deals, the Canberra bid — backed by $3 million from the ACT government — looks like a perfect fit. Boorer, though wary after past rejection, is ready to go again. Meanwhile, Cricket ACT searches for a new CEO, and Cricket Australia scrambles to attract private investment without alienating states — all while the clock ticks toward the 2026-27 season.
