Cricket Australia's plans to privatise the Big Bash League (BBL) face setbacks as Queensland joins New South Wales in rejecting the proposal to sell stakes in BBL clubs to private investors. This leaves only four states supporting the move, which could potentially generate between Aus$600-800 million.
