Big Bash League 2015/16
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2015 12:23 am
So we're about 300 odd sleeps from this great competition kicking off once more. This will be the fifth edition for the best T20 league outside the IPL. Perth will be looking to make their fifth finals in a row, with the two Melbourne franchises looking to break Victoria's duck. The trading period started on Monday, he's a few of moves announced thus far;
Around 80 players are coming off contracts, with the salary cap increasing by $A100k to stand at $A800k in total.
Yuvraj Singh won't be playing in the BBL any time soon.
Cameron White is a free agent and is yet to be resigned by the Stars.
Stephen Fleming will be the new coach for the Melbourne Stars.
Melbourne Renegades are also in the market for a new coach. They could snap up Greg Shippard, or their director of cricket, Tom Moody could be a chance.
Clint McKay was released by the Melbourne Stars and has signed with the Sydney Thunder.
Jackson Bird has also left the Stars and looks set to join the Sydney Sixers.
To cover the loss of McKay and Bird, the Stars are chasing Ben Hilfenhaus.
Melbourne Renegades are chasing Xavier Doherty, in addition to four other unnamed players, with Cameron White rumoured to be one of those.
Ben Rohrer has left the Renegades and joined Sydney Thunder.
Sydney Thunder have retained Usman Khawaja, Pat Cumins and Gurinder Sandhu.
Freddie Flintoff looks certain to get the chop from the Brisbane Heat.
KP will almost certainly be retained by the Stars.
I'm expecting Luke Wright to get the chop from the Stars, who must surely be looking at bowlers.
Stay tuned for more updates.
A women's league looks set for lift-off next summer with eight franchises aligned with the men's teams.
