BBL: Big Blow For Sydney Sixers As CA Blocks Steve Smith From Competing In The Tournament

By IANS News January 21, 2022 • 16:41 PM View: 1542

Australian Test team vice-captain Steve Smith will not be able to compete in the Big Bash League (BBL) this season after Cricket Australia (CA) blocked Sydney Sixers' move following opposition from other stakeholders.

Sydney Sixers were hoping to get the former Australian skipper on board ahead of their Saturday night qualifying final against Perth Scorchers but his application was rejected "after other states voted against allowing Smith to play in the qualifier, a decision rubber-stamped by CA," cricket.com.au reported on Friday.
