    Black Caps great Chris Cairns says he would love for two New Zealand franchises to enter Australia's Big Bash League

    Black Caps great Chris Cairns says he would love for two New Zealand franchises to enter Australia's Big Bash League


    The 54-year-old believes the move would raise the quality of the T20 tournament and generate more rivalry and interest.

    Cairns highlights the success of other sporting codes involved in trans-Tasman competition...and feels cricket is lagging behind.
