Cricket Victoria's bold BBL privatisation plan is one step closer to becoming reality after rival states reached an in-principle agreement about the sport's most divisive issue.
Cricket Australia (CA) chair Mike Baird and counterparts from the six state bodies met on Monday and signed off on a "self-determination model" that would allow stakes in BBL clubs to be sold off if desired.
There are still administrative hurdles to clear. Most notably, the boards of the six state bodies must now independently vote to accept the privatisation model.
