Australian players to ignore BBL and play SA20? Pat Cummins breaks silence

Australian skipper Pat Cummins and the rest of his teammates have been in the news recently. As reports have indicated, some of the big-name stars from Down Under have rejected the new contracts offered to them. Former Australian skipper and current chairman of selectors, George Bailey, ultimately denied those claims and called it ‘normal for this time of the year’. 

Now, as per a new report carried in Aussie newspaper The Age, several established Australian stars are reportedly planning to skip the Big Bash League (BBL) to play the SA20 league in 2028. The article especially put out the national team skipper Pat Cummins name as one of the ‘big-name’ stars who are demanding more money to play in the Australian league. The same article also reported that if terms weren’t met, then the players wanted NOCs to play in the SA20 league. 

33-year-old Cummins wasn’t impressed with the fact that his name was associated with the report. Aussie skipper took to his x-handle and posted a tweet which read, “Everything you’ve written about me in this about SAT20 NOC and The Hundred offer is made up.”
