A young cricket fan in the crowd was seen bloodied after his failed attempt to catch a ball during the Big Bash League match between Hobart Hurricanes and Perth Scorchers in Hobart on Tuesday. The incident took place in the eighth over when Hurricanes' batsman Ben McDermott smashed a six off AJ Tye.

The Big Bash League is considering an introduction of a radical change to the timed out rule ahead of the 2021/22 season, aiming to speed up play. As per the proposed change, if a batsman doesn’t turn up on time, a bowler will be allowed a free-hit with stumps exposed to get him out first ball.

Sydney Sixers have re-signed James Vince for the upcoming edition of the Big Bash League, scheduled to be played in December-January. The England batsman was the second highest run-scorer during Sixers' title-winning campaign in 2020-21, aggregating 537 runs from 16 outings at 38.36.
