Melbourne, Dec 20: The ninth edition of the Big Bash League will celebrate Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures, with the first of five Indigenous-themed matches to be played on Friday.

In this BBL season, the addition of specially designed Kookaburra balls will add further significance to the matches. In each fixture, the same Kookaburra white Turf ball will be used, with the logo replaced by Aunty Fiona Clarke's 'Walkabout Wickets' design. The word 'Kookaburra' will be replaced by the equivalent term in each location's Indigenous language, stated Cricket Australia in an official media release.
