Marsh, Short must finish BBL before joining SA20, says Cricket AustraliaCricket Australia has confirmed Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Short will receive No Objection Certificates to play in the SA20 only after completing their Big Bash League commitments. Marsh and Short were announced as marquee signings for the upcoming season of SA20 by joining Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Pretoria Capitals respectively. The SA20 is scheduled to get underway on January 17, 2027, just a day after Short’s Adelaide Strikers host Marsh’s Perth Scorchers in the final match of the BBL season 16 league stage. Short, who opted to go freelance after his national contract was not renewed for the 2026/27 season, will still require the clearance alongside Marsh. A Perth Scorchers spokesperson also said in the report that Marsh would remain ‘with Perth until the season ends, whatever stage of the tournament that is.’
