In the letter, Sir Rodney detailed the impact on the BBL and WBBL as well as the effects being felt on the community work carried out by clubs. The letter was also sent to Nigel Huddleston, Under-Secretary of State for Sport, Dame Katherine Grainger, Chair of UK Sport, and to Nick Bitel, Chair of Sport England.<\/p>\n<p>The 2020-21 season had been due to start on 2 October with the first round of BBL Cup games, with Championship games slated for 13 November.
