Another factor in the Tasmania option was that, currently, the island is open to Queensland which means that players and officials involved in the Australia-India series will be able to fly directly into the competition providing there are no changes to regulations over the next month.The final T20I of that series had been brought forward a day to allow extra travel time ahead of the WBBL.”The League and all clubs thank Premier Gutwein and the Tasmanian Government for their support of the WBBL and Australian cricket,” Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia’s general manager of Big Bash Leagues, said. “We’d also like to thank Cricket Tasmania for the power of work they’ve put in to securing our safe passage to Tasmania and deliver the opening weeks of the tournament. We can’t wait to arrive in Hobart and start our season.”Tasmania looks likely to lose its scheduled men’s Test between Australia and Afghanistan in late November following Cricket Australia’s stance against the match taking place should the Taliban not allow women to play sport. The Tasmania Premier had previously raised serious concerns of the match.Last season the WBBL was played entirely in a Sydney-based hub while Tasmania staged one of the opening hubs of the BBL.”This is fantastic news for Tasmanian cricket and we’re thrilled to be able to play our part in ensuring the season gets away,” Dominic Baker, the Cricket Tasmania CEO, said. “Following on from us hosting the first of the BBL hubs last year, we know this is something we can do, and do well, and we know Tasmanian cricket fans can’t wait to come out and see some of the world’s best female cricketers in action.”We’re very thankful to the Tasmanian government for their work in making this happen, and we can’t wait for what’s going to be a fantastic celebration of women’s cricket in Tasmania.”Revised scheduleOct 14: Sydney Sixers v Melbourne Stars, Blundstone Arena, 7:40pm AEDT
