Queensland has joined New South Wales in rejecting Cricket Australia's (CA) proposal to privatize the Big Bash League (BBL) by selling stakes in its clubs to private investors. This decision leaves only four states supporting the privatization plan, which could potentially generate AU$600-800 million.

• 01Queensland and New South Wales have both rejected Cricket Australia's BBL privatization plan.
• 02The proposal aimed to sell stakes in eight BBL clubs to private investors.
• 03Queensland's Brisbane Heat and New South Wales' Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder are among the clubs opposing the plan.
• 04Only four states—Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, and Tasmania—are still in favor of the proposal.
• 05Full privatization of the BBL could yield AU$600-800 million.

The rejection of the privatization plan could affect the financial future and operational model of the BBL, impacting how clubs are funded and managed.
