The expectation surrounding Australia's budding allrounder Cameron Green can only intensify following his career-best, unbeaten 185 against a world-class New South Wales attack today.
Gotta love the media.

Thought I must have missed the news that Cummins , Hazlewood & Starc were playing alas it was Abbott , Copeland & Conway so hardly world class.

Hasn't bowled since December so I think they need to wait until he is back bowling.

Certainly puts pressure on Head & Wade though for the first 2 Tests at least.

Interesting if they do have a extended squad for the whole series and include a lower order bat only or a batting all rounder (eg Stoinis) or a spinning all rounder (eg Agar or Maxwell (?).

Hopefully he scores well in the next 2 Shield games.

England tour of South Africa

Nov 27 - Dec 9

I gather if they are then released for Big Bash straight after that they would need to spend a 14 day quarantine period on arrival in Australia.

Depends what happens with the Pakistan & Sri Lanka series.

NSW Government has approved the returning Australian players and Indian players to quarantine (and be able to train) in Sydney so the ODI'S & T20's will now likely be played in Sydney & Canberra.

Once the BCCI approves the dates/venues hopefully the schedule is announced tomorrow.

Once completed the new BBL schedule will be released.

BBL clubs are now able to add an optional 19th 'marquee' player to their roster that will be paid for by Cricket Australia - that is in addition to each club's $1.86m salary cap. But the catch is clubs must lock in their players by the end of this week in order for CA to apply for the necessary government exemptions that would allow those players into the country.
Interesting found the rest of the story and seems you missed a key bit of news....

The schedule for BBL|10 matches is expected to be released once CA has finalised arrangements for India's tour that will include three ODIs, three T20s and four Tests.

The BBL season is set to begin in the second week of December.

would mean a delay start to the BBL season (Dec 3rd)

10th has been suggested for the new start date for a week or so now

Oh missed that haha I did see Tasmania would be the host for the first hub.
I did see that about Tasmania as well , I assume Hobart & Launceston.

Is their still a ground up to standard in Devonport ?

I was thinking Queensland would be ok as a hub with the Gabba , Metricon , Cairns & Townsville.

Sounds like it will be a logistical nightmare with the state border rules and OS players possibly flying in and out.

People got confused enough when the Australian ODI Squad was leaving last season , so once this season starts I might make myself scarce 😀 , nearly drove me insane last time.

BCCI might just say let's play everything in the UAE 😀
