The Seven Network has again launched court action against Cricket Australia in a bid to rip up its $450 million TV rights deal.Seven has broadcast Test cricket in Australia, Big Bash League action and women's internationals since 2018 when they secured the rights from CA's long-term free-to-air partner, the Nine Network.
The ownership structure of clubs remains a significant issue in the BBL, with both Cricket NSW and Queensland vocal in backing the private ownership move this week. CA remains enormously proud of the efforts of the Australian Cricket family including players, match officials, sponsors, stadium operators, host governments, staff and volunteers whose hard work, dedication and expertise allowed us to deliver two exceptional cricket seasons in unprecedented circumstances."
