Shane Warne explains reason behind controversially calling BBL a 'joke' in public

The Big Bash League has gone on to establish itself as one of the biggest franchise-based T20 tournaments in the world. In the past three weeks, the BBL 2020 has enthralled the cricketing community with some entertaining cricket. However, just like the recently concluded Dream11 IPL 2020 where several umpiring errors were made, the BBL 2020 has also been in the news for umpiring howlers.

Shane Warne slams Cricket Australia for not having DRS in BBL 2020

Former Australian spinner Shane Warne has lashed out at the umpiring standards in BBL 2020 and also hit out at Cricket Australia for not having the Decision Review System (DRS) in the BBL 2020. In the last week or so, there have been several umpiring decisions that have stirred controversy. Warne's response is due to a recent umpiring error caused in the BBL 2020 when Brisbane Heat batsman Tom Cooper was incorrectly judged out.

It all happened when Cooper tried to play reverse sweep off Danny Briggs’ ball. The ball had apparently edged and hit the right pad but the umpire immediately raised his finger after the fielding team appealed. Warne took to Twitter and posted a couple of tweets where he called out the umpiring errors in the ongoing competition and also said that the wonderful tournament is becoming a joke. He also urged CA to bring in DRS immediately because according to Warne, if CA doesn't implement DRS quickly, the Big Bash won't attract big players and won't be taken seriously.
