Australia's swashbuckling left-handed batsman, David Warner, who is currently in the UAE where he is leading the Hyderabad side in the Dream11 IPL 2020, could likely miss Australia's premier T20 competition, the Big Bash League (BBL) this season. With several stalwarts of Australian cricketers taking part in the Dream11 IPL 2020, there is set to be a 2-3 weeks window for them on the cards to ensure their participation in their homegrown league. David Warner's business manager, James Erskine feels that the cricketer's chances of featuring in BBL this year are slim. 

James Erskine, in a conversation with The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, revealed that though he is yet to discuss the matter with David Warner, but he feels that the southpaw will prefer spending time with his family rather than playing cricket in the BBL. The major point of concern over here is the fatigue that the players endure during their stay in a biosecure bubble. David Warner, who already is a part of a similar bubble during the Dream11 IPL 2020, will find it difficult to move to another bubble in such a short span of time.

Erskine also added how the situation is not related to monetary gains but revolves around David Warner's choices. With players such as David Warner, Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa and many more being a part of the rigorous Dream11 IPL 2020 schedule, could cast doubts on their participation in the Australian league. The competition is slated to commence in December.
