Big Bash League Fixtures Adjusted to Complement Ashes Calendar
A rare two-week window could open the door for Australia’s Test stars to feature in BBL Season 15, thanks to the fifth Ashes Test wrapping up on January 8. This timing potentially makes players available for the final stretch of the regular season as well as the finals.
While their participation will still depend on recovery and clearance from Cricket Australia’s high-performance team, it’s a notable shift from previous seasons, where Test series in January and February often ruled out the nation’s top talent from taking part in the BBL.

Head Of BBL Confident For Best Season
Head of BBL Leagues, Alistair Dobson, expressed strong optimism with the upcoming season while stressing on a good run of matches.
“We earmarked this season from a while back. Anything we do around international summer is huge. But then to have a good, clear run of nights available from mid-December through to the end of January, where we can play the BBL every night, is one that adds up to a pretty strong season for us,” Dobson stated as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
Notably, the revised schedule is designed to ensure that every team gets a home game in the final week of the regular season, increasing the chances of Test stars turning out for their clubs during that period and into the finals.
Players like Nathan Lyon (Melbourne Renegades) could finally make their long-anticipated BBL debuts. However, several key Test players – including Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, and Cameron Green remain uncontracted for the 2025–26 BBL season, leaving their participation uncertain.
