I assume those test cricketers not playing the BBL will sit out the IPL as well.

That's good, so not many.
Throw in Head and Cummins.
They do need a rest though.

I stopped watching it about 10 years before that, there wasn't much choice back then with only a few channels and no streaming.
God knows why anyone would watch it these days.
Flamin' unbelievable by Channel 7!reminder that for next weeks games (Mon to Thurs) the start times (usually 7:15pm AEDT) are 15 min later because Home & Away is back.
According to it's Wikipedia page, H & A is shown in 80 countries, so I'm sure it's still reeling in plenty of rights money.

I could be wrong but I don't think H&A and Neighbours had the same funding deals from the UK. Don't recall reading H&A having any of that.

Hasnain returns to BBL with Sydney Thunder
The club have also brought in George Garton as an replacement overseas player for the rest of the season
gotta love it when random International who I don't know jets off to another T20 comp midway through and gets replaced by another random International who I don't know...
It's part of the reason I can't get into BBL. I watch it from time to time because I have nothing better to do, but I honestly don't know who half the players are. To me, it just seems like an all expenses paid holiday for overseas players not good enough to represent their own countries.Hasnain returns to BBL with Sydney Thunder

That’s the problem with the one day series being played behind a pay wall not everybody gets to see it.
I’ve got Foxtel so never miss a game but I really hate where Australia’s going with sport and tv rights.
Can’t even imagine the AFL season for people without kayo/fox and not being able to watch a game on a Saturday.
Hasnain is the one who broke Connolly's thumb from memory.
And he has played in the BBL before.
My main memory of him was Moises calling him a chucker

Lockie Ferguson and Sherfane Rutherford are both regular white ball representatives of their countries. Ferguson has played 65 ODIs for NZ, hardly random.Hasnain returns to BBL with Sydney Thunder

This probably ends any chances the Thunder had. Ferguson is a white-ball specialist, and Garton was complete pants for the Strikers a few years ago.

it was a wild generalisation, but they're hardly "big name" players regardless of International credentials.

Who are crickets big name players right now, outside of India?
We dont live in the Gayle, Bravo, ABD era anymore. I can't think of many global cricketers that would be bum on seats kind of attractions. Maybe Harry Brook, but even then he played Big Bash a few years ago and averaged 6 with the bat.
