Western Australia will host five Big Bash League games after being handed their only cricket of the summer as coronavirus restrictions across the country ease.

After missing out on international matches due to logistical hurdles with border closures, Perth will host matches as part of the BBL roadshow in January.

The Perth Scorchers will feature in four of those matches from January 3, while the Sydney Thunder and the Hobart Hurricanes will play a game on neutral turf at Optus Stadium.

As part of previous restrictions in the WA players would have been required to spend 14 days in hard quarantine on arrival.

However, the relaxing of measures means that will no longer be required, given no players will be coming directly from Victoria or NSW.

The only sticking point could be if the current Adelaide cluster remains an issue, given there are matches scheduled in South Australia at the end of December.

Cricket Australia is aware it must remain agile throughout the summer’s fixtures.

Organisers previously announced all games for the BBL season, while venues were only listed until December 31.

In the updated schedule to start in 2021, games will be played across Queensland, Tasmania, Adelaide and Perth until January 12.

The regular season will then end in Sydney and Melbourne, with the NSW capital to host eight matches and the sports-deprived Victoria to have 11.
