About this episode

The episode discusses the future of the Big Bash League, the rejection of privatisation by Cricket NSW, and highlights Australian players' performances in various leagues.

This episode of Cricket Unfiltered dives into one of the biggest issues in Australian cricket right now — the future of the Big Bash League — as Cricket NSW takes a firm stand against privatisation. The guys unpack what this means for the competition, the risks of external ownership, and whether the league can grow through a self-funded model instead. They also cover the latest from the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, including Mitchell Starc’s recognition, debate the quirks of Wisden’s selection rules, and take a global look at Aussie performances across the IPL, PSL, and county cricket. Plus, there’s discussion around Cameron Green’s struggles, David Warner’s off-field controversy, and what it all means for leadership and accountability in Australian cricket.
