The new outfit, rumored to don navy blue and play at the MCG, could be called the Bushrangers, honoring Victoria’s cricketing heritage. Though the current teams will keep playing as usual this season, the future hinges on Cricket Australia’s approval for phased stake sales — a move aimed at injecting fresh investment from the grassroots up. The Australian Cricketers Association’s blessing is still pending, but this shift reflects a broader push across Cricket Australia to unlock private capital for the BBL, after earlier attempts at simultaneous sales stalled.
