Cricket Australia Says Kohli to BBL Is Realistic as League Weighs Privatisation

Todd Greenberg says a call on private investment will shape whether active Indian stars can appear.

Overview

Greenberg said it is realistic in the short to medium term for Virat Kohli to feature in the Big Bash League, with talks set to continue.
Any move for top Indian players was framed as contingent on a potential privatisation of the BBL that Cricket Australia aims to decide on this summer.
Ravichandran Ashwin has signed a full-season deal with Sydney Thunder, positioning him to become the first Indian player in the BBL.
Cricket Australia confirmed an agreement for Pakistan internationals to play this season, clearing the way for stars such as Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan and Haris Rauf.
Current BCCI practice requires Indian players to retire from domestic and international cricket to join overseas leagues, complicating any path for Kohli.
