Baird and Greenberg crucial for Saudi T20 league's success

smh.com.au — March 17, 2025 at 09:01 AM UTC

Cricket Australia's new CEO Todd Greenberg and chair Mike Baird are key to promoting a Saudi-backed global T20 league. The league would feature eight city-based teams and be owned by the International Cricket Council and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The league aims to attract interest from India and other cricket nations. It would include four annual tournaments in iconic locations, with a final at year’s end. Teams would later be sold to private investors. Greenberg and Baird will attend their first International Cricket Council meetings next month. Discussions will include the future of Test cricket and the potential for the T20 league, which is not yet on the ICC agenda.
