The Australian Baseball League will likely forge ahead with a four-team competition as part of a professional "reset" after Canberra joined Melbourne in announcing their withdrawal.
A statement from the Cavalry on Saturday explained that the competition's uncertainty prompted them to not take part in the 2025/26 season "in the best interest of the long-term viability of the Canberra Cavalry and the ABL as a whole".
The statement, which also referenced the exit of Sydney, claimed their licence had not been handed in and they expected to be included in plans for the following season.
