Finch Advocates Bold Changes For BBL's Future
Finch, who recently retired from professional cricket, shared his vision for the BBL in an interview with ESPN's Around The Wicket. He recommended relocating Sydney Thunder to Canberra and Melbourne Renegades to Geelong, believing this move could expand the fan base. However, this proposition challenges the tradition of the four highly anticipated derby matches each season.
Expressing concerns about the talent pool, Finch explained, "I think we're already a bit thin at the moment with the talent pool to get another side in." While Canberra has expressed interest in hosting a new BBL team, Finch fears spreading players too thinly across additional franchises. Another significant aspect of Finch's vision is scrapping the overseas draft to allow clubs to sign players directly. This suggestion comes in response to the challenge of losing key players to other leagues due to prior commitments, as witnessed in the latest BBL season.
