The summer of cricket has officially arrived, with the Big Bash League underway.
In its 13th year, the annual domestic T20 tournament will be condensed in the 2023/24 season to help the fan-friendly nature and coincide with school holidays across the country.
BBL|13 features some of the biggest names from Australia and abroad, with the season kicking off in early-December and running through until late-January.
The Sporting News has all the details on the Big Bash season schedule below.
