Last month, CA disclosed a trio of new playing conditions (Power Surge, X-Factor and Bash Boost) that are to be followed in BBL 2020. Notable cricketing figures in Australia, including former World Cup-winning captain Michael Clarke, greeted the announcement with skepticism.
Now, Callum Ferguson has come forward and revealed that he was ‘pretty shocked’ when the changes in BBL 2020 playing conditions were made public. He said:
The Adelaide-born Australian cricketer stated that there were concerns that the innovative additions might make the rules too complicated for the fans to easily understand. He continued:
However, with the rules already in place now for BBL 2020, the 36-year old Thunder captain is ready to embrace the changes and is looking forward to effectively utilizing the new playing conditions.
Callum Ferguson also emphasized that administrators and players have to work in harmony for the better of the sport. He added:
BBL 2020 is set to kick-off from December 10 with the tournament-opener between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers. The Thunder will cross swords with the Stars at Manuka Oval in their first match of BBL 2020.
