FOX TO BROADCAST EVERY WBBL BALL, EVERY SIX
FOR the first time in Women’s Big Bash League history, all 59 matches of the quick-fire competition, which starts in Hobart on Thursday, will be televised on Foxtel.
The Foxtel deal was announced alongside Cricket Australia unveiling its revised fixture for the seventh iteration of the WBBL, with games to be played in South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia following a two-week opening stint in Tasmania.
Despite Covid-19 border closures and complications, this year’s WBBL will be played in full.
General manager of the Big Bash Leagues, Alistair Dobson, said the announcement reinforced Cricket Australia’s commitment to making cricket the leading sport for women and girls.
“Today’s announcement of a revised full WBBL|07 schedule reaffirms Australian cricket’s commitment to the women’s game,” he said. “We owe it to our players and loyal fans to deliver a full schedule, and today’s announcement further strengthens this.”
