As part of the modernisation, the International Cricket Council (ICC) introduced the shortest format of cricket. After the introduction of T20 Cricket, India started its first-ever premier league called IPL. After the launch of the tournament, BCCI got a great response from the fans. They also earned a huge amount of money from the game.

Similarly, the Australian Cricket Board (CA) also introduced a new cricket league in the world named the Big Bash League. Consequently, the league also got a great response from the fans. The average crowd attendance of Big Bash at that time was 32,753, making it more popular than La Liga Santander and Bundelinga.
Before the season of the COVID-19 pandemic and after the next year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Big Bash witnessed a great disaster in their history. Although the COVID-19 was also responsible for that, it’s also a fact that CA failed to attract fans again. The average crowds of that season drop to 6,589. This was the greatest ever disaster of the Big Bash League.
How is the Big Bash League is thriving again?
After the 2021-2022 season, the CA has taken several steps to attract more fans to the stadium. The 2022-2023 received a great advantage from it. The average number of that year increased more than 10,379 than the previous year, and the average crowds go up to 16,968. The West Australian local team Perth Scorchers received a great crowd response, and the trend is still ongoing. In 2023-2024 the average crowd in a Perth Scorchers match was more than 32,679, and in the current season, the number is 36,789.
Similarly, the crowds response from the Adelaide Strikers, Sydney Sixers, Brisbane Heat, and Melbourne Stars boosts the popularity of the Big Bash League throughout the country. The average number of crowds in a Brisbane Heat’s home game is around 26,000, and in this season this is more than 31,368.
How IPL become the premier sports league in the world.
The average number of TV viewers is also growing throughout the country. It’s very common to see that the regular games of BBL are getting two to three million viewers. This helps CA to find more sponsors for the KFC Big Bash League. The viewership of the Big Bash League is also growing across the globe and becoming more popular to Indians and other countries.
The proper way of shoulder planning created a great difference here with the other sports leagues in the entire world. The Boxing Day match and New Year’s Eve Schulder planing prove that CA is working to make the Big Bash League more and more popular to the entire world. For this reason, the normal games of the Big Bash League are getting sellout seats.
