No Better Place For BBL Globalisation Than India':, Says Dobson, Head Of Big Bash League
Big Bash League Alistair Dobson: Head of Big Bash League Alistair Dobson highlighted that India was the best option for bringing the Big Bash League out of Australia's borders, as the MA Chidambaram Stadium will be hosting the BBL 16 season opener between Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers on December 12. The league has been among the most popular leagues in the world, and its travel to India will add an Indian flavour, with the BBL already being followed in the nation. Dobson stated that the days of the BBL being held only in Australia have gone, as they push to make the sport more global, and also highlighted that India was the best market to bring the tournament to outside Australian soil. Cricket Australia also expects the opener to involve a sellout in Chepauk. Very confident (about raising the profile of the BBL this season). I think we all can see the globalisation of T20 cricket and the importance for the biggest of leagues, including the IPL and the BBL, to be able to exist and perform on a global stage, not just in our own country, Dobson said as quoted by Cricinfo. So whether that's from a fan perspective that we want fans all around the world tuning into the BBL... but equally and importantly that all the best players from around the world want to come and be part of our competition - whether that's our men's league or our women's league. So, the days of the BBL just being an Australian league where we exist and grow in our own backyard are over, and the BBL is and continues to grow as a global league that has fans and impact around the world, he added. Meanwhile, he added that the BBL is among the two most popular leagues in the world and emphasised what it means to bring the tournament to India. We believe the BBL is in the top couple of leagues globally and certainly part of the objective here is reinforcing that. There's no better place to do that than in India amongst the most passionate T20 fans and cricket fans in the world. I think the response... We know the BBL is already really popular in India, Dobson said. Moreover, Dobson also confirmed that there will be no reserve day for the opener at Chepauk despite the weather in Chennai in December likely to witness downpour. Mid-December marks the end of monsoon in Chennai, which can put a question on the clash; however, Dobson stated that with the match scheduled to take place in the afternoon, they will look for extra time compared to the normal BBL games. We've certainly taken lots of advice from the locals and are really optimistic that we'll be in good shape, but clearly you can't predict the weather, Dobson said. We won't have a reserve day. We are working through some playing conditions that might allow us to extend the playing time if required. We're really committed to getting a game played, and we think there are some ways we can do that, albeit not with a reserve day given the nature of the BBL. A bit like the IPL, where the show rolls on pretty quickly to the next stop. We don't have scope for a reserve day, but we're doing everything we can to make sure we get a game in for sure... The afternoon game (2.40 pm IST start) does give us the scope to add some more length to the playing time if needed, he said. The head of Big Bash League also ruled out the possibility of a WBBL game taking place in India at least for the time being. First and foremost, getting this year's BBL game executed successfully is clearly our priority and where we're putting all our effort, he said. We do believe in the WBBL, and it is, in our view, the best cricket league for women in the world. So we would be open to, in the future, the possibility of bringing a WBBL game to different parts of the world. We're really committed to getting a game played, and we think there are some ways we can do that, albeit not with a reserve day given the nature of the BBL. A bit like the IPL, where the show rolls on pretty quickly to the next stop. We don't have scope for a reserve day, but we're doing everything we can to make sure we get a game in for sure... The afternoon game (2.40 pm IST start) does give us the scope to add some more length to the playing time if needed, he said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Bengaluru FC, Chennaiyin FC Ready To Ignite High-stakes Battle Of The South
Indian Super League: Two former winners, Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC, will renew their rivalry in the Southern Derby when they meet in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. The hosts enter the derby riding high after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sporting Club Delhi, while Chennaiyin head to the fortress following a gritty 1-1 away draw against FC Goa. Bengaluru, who won the title in the 2018-19 season, showed attacking threat and resilience in their opener. Borja Martnez scored twice, including a 75th-minute equaliser, before Menno Koch headed home the winner in the 89th minute. However, conceding twice has given head coach Pep Muoz areas to address. We have to be stronger in duels, Muoz said, reflecting on the opening game. He acknowledged that Delhi had found ways to trouble his side and stressed the need to improve defensively. He also described Chennaiyin as an intense, direct team with dangerous forwards. Muoz highlighted the depth of his squad, saying: You look at the bench. You have a lot of options, offensive options, defensive options, players that can change the game. Bengaluru will look to maintain their second-half momentum while tightening up at the back. Head coach Clifford Miranda has stressed the need to limit Bengalurus attacking space. We have to defend in a way that doesn't allow them much space. In the end, the most important thing is to stay compact and not give the opposition space and time, Miranda said on the eve of the match. Chennaiyin FC, the two-time ISL winners in 2015 and 2017-18, will aim to combine defensive discipline with greater efficiency in attack. The fixture carries a rich history. Chennaiyin defeated Bengaluru 3-2 in the 2017-18 ISL final at the Kanteerava, while Bengaluru claimed a 2-1 away win in the sides final meeting last season through Serto Worneilen Koms 89th-minute strike. Chennaiyin defender Namgyal Bhutia will also face his former club. Chennaiyin FC, the two-time ISL winners in 2015 and 2017-18, will aim to combine defensive discipline with greater efficiency in attack. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
