"Should Andre, or any other BBL or WBBL player for that matter, wish to use a bat with a different colouring solution to the one used last night that doesn't result in the discolouration of the match ball, they will be permitted to do so subject to Cricket Australia being satisfied that the bat won't compromise the integrity of the game, which we believe discolouring the match ball does," added Everard.
Under the BBL Clothing and Equipment Regulations, a player can use a coloured bat subject to CA approval. The bat must be the same colour as the club's primary colour, or black.
