Australian cricketers are considering leaving the Big Bash and moving to SA20

A new debate has erupted in Australian cricket. According to reports, some senior players, including Pat Cummins, are seriously considering asking for NOC to play in the South African SA20 League in 2028. The reason is simple, the world’s other major franchise leagues pay a lot more than the Big Bash.

In the same year, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc were offered about $800,000 to play in England’s The Hundred League, but they preferred the Test series against Bangladesh for Australia. This offer gives an idea of ​​how little players get in the Big Bash.

Cricket Australia also has its own problems. Since 2022, millions of dollars have been spent on foreign players, while local Australian players are angry about the low remuneration. That is why the Overseas Draft System is also being considered for abolition.

However, Pat Cummins has described the reports of going to SA20 as rumors. But this debate is not over because the question of compensation still exists and will continue to arise until Big Bash pays its stars appropriately.
