“We’re always on the lookout. It’s a wake-up call for everyone in the game, in my opinion. It’s a wake-up call for the sporting world. It isn’t unique to Australia or the rest of the world. There’s a lot of chaos right now. Because we’ve got a high-profile case of disruption, everyone needs to be extra attentive now,” Hockley said on radio SEN.

After matches in the ongoing Ashes and BBL, players were regularly seen signing autographs and mingling with spectators. Some bowlers even signed autographs while fielding around third man and fine leg, where the ball doesn’t move much. The CA boss, on the other hand, now wants his players to be even safer.

“It’s a great tragedy because we’ve witnessed athletes eager to mingle with the crowd.” The Big Bash has a tradition of doing so. However, we now have very defined protocols. “We need to make sure that persons on the field of play are functioning in a very biosecure manner,” Hockley added.
