There is plenty of interest in BBL12 from the UK after 70 English players nominated themselves for this season’s player draft. Although not all the players were picked up, and some who were have had to pull out of the tournament through injury or personal reasons, 14 English players are expected to feature on your screens in the big bash live over the course of this tournament.
But these are not just any players looking for a ticket out of the cold UK winter in search of sunnier climes. Chris Jordan, Alex Hales and David Willey, all fresh from lifting the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia are amongst the 14. They are joined by Sam Billings and Joe Clarke who both enhanced their reputations with strong performances for Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars in BBL11. And you will be able to see every run they score, every wicket they take and every bit of fielding with the big bash on UK TV.

Interest in the fortunes of English players and internationals is nothing new, but with the Men’s Ashes scheduled to take place in the UK in June and July 2023, there will be plenty of England supporters keeping an eye on the players likely to be selected by Australia. As with previous seasons, some of the BBL rounds will clash with Test Matches (Australia host South Africa in a Three Match Test series from mid-December to early January) so we can expect to see plenty of opportunities for the next generation of Australian players to show what they can do in the big bash on TV.
Once the Tests are over, the big names like Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, David Warner and Cameron Green will all look to take a full part in the remainder of BBL12. The Men’s Ashes will be only five months away by that point and the countdown will have begun on both sides of the planet.
Big Bash on UK TV
But just because you are watching the Big Bash on UK TV, it doesn’t mean you are only bothered by the fortunes of the English and Australian players. Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan, one of the top T20 spinners in the world, will be showing off his skills once again for Adelaide Strikers. Pakistan’s bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan has signed for Hobart Hurricanes and he is sure to entertain with both bat and ball. There is also a strong contingent from over the Tasman sea with Trent Boult, Jimmy Neesham and Martin Guptill signing on for the tournament.
As well as the nations represented above, players from South Africa, West Indies and Sri Lanka will also be on show when you watch the big bash live this year.
After the pubs were filled during November and December to follow the fortunes of Gareth Southgate’s side in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the early morning starts of the BBL do not time well for pub meet-ups. Instead, we expect to hear of English cricket fans watching the big bash live from under their duvets with a tinge of jealousy in the direction of the weather over in Australia.
The BBL has a very strong presence on social media and any controversial catches or discussion-worthy dismissals are likely to go viral on the likes of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tik-Tok. But as great as it is to see those moments played back, nothing beats the drama of seeing the big bash live.
For those of you who like to watch the big bash on UK TV, you will be pleased to know that the tournament will once again be shown from start to finish. The 2016-17 BBL season was the first to be shown on UK TV and each campaign has been broadcast to UK cricket fans via BT Sport or Sky Sports ever since.
