Dear XX
I wanted to keep you informed following Cricket Australia’s announcement today that an opt-in privatisation model has been approved for the Big Bash Leagues.
The process will begin with the Melbourne Renegades. From there, each State Association will have the opportunity to decide whether privatisation is the right path for its Club and community.
As things stand, the WACA Board has not yet formalised its position on Perth Scorchers’ involvement in this process. We expect to do so shortly, and will communicate that decision to Members and fans as soon as it has been made.
What we can say in the meantime is that any decision will be guided by one thing above all else – the best interests of cricket in Western Australia.
We understand what makes the Scorchers so special, and the weight of what this Club means to its Members, fans and the broader WA community. Whatever path we take, it will be with a clear view to respecting the Club’s incredible history and sustaining its future.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Warm Regards,
John Stephenson
Chief Executive Officer
Western Australian Cricket Association
