If Adelaide Strikers qualify for a home final in the Big Bash League, they might have to play the match in Canberra because of scheduling conflicts with the Test summer. Australia’s home Tests against West Indies are set to take place at Adelaide Oval and the Gabba in Brisbane during the BBL finals week. This means the Strikers, currently in fourth place, won’t be able to host a finals match in Adelaide. Instead, they would play their qualifier or knockout at Manuka Oval. The Heat, in first place, could still host their home finals matches in southeast Queensland at Carrara Oval. The possibility of BBL matches on Christmas Day is also being discussed, with some players open to the idea while others have concerns. Todd Greenberg of the Australian Cricketers Association is willing to consider the proposal, citing the success of other sports playing on December 25
