The upcoming season of the Big Bash League (BBL) and Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) is highly anticipated, and teams have begun evaluating the new players they may add to their lineups in order to achieve success.
In the BBL and WBBL, up to 50 players have been maintained in the platinum bracket. Nicholas Pooran, Haris Rauf, Harry Brook, and Zak Crawley are among the most prominent figures. Harpreet Kaur, Marizanne Kapp, and Alice Capsey, among others, are among the most prominent competitors in the WBBL.
The greatest number of players on the BBL platinum list are from England, with 14. The franchises will be eager to recruit these players because the national team has produced incredible results in all three formats of international cricket.
However, their availability for the entirety of the tournament is uncertain due to a white-ball series against the West Indies in December and a five-match Test series against India starting in January. Therefore, Brook and Crawley may lose out on a significant portion of the BBL. The season will span December 7 through January 24.
The BBL salary ranges have increased significantly since the last edition. This year, platinum competitors will earn $420,000 (up from $340,000 the previous year). However, the complete sum will only be paid if the player is available throughout the entire season. If they played only 10 matches, they would receive $400,000.
If they played nine matches, they would earn $380,000. Regardless of the number of games played, any cricketer who participates in eight or fewer contests will receive AUD 360,000. Gold players will earn $300,000 AUD, silver players will earn $200,000 AUD, and bronze players will earn $100,000 AUD.
As the SA20 begins on January 10, a few players may abandon the BBL in its final stages to compete in it. Pakistan also has several matches that conflict with BBL.
This will be the first time in WBBL history that international athletes are selected via draft. Platinum players will earn AUD 110,000, gold players will earn AUD 90,000, silver players will earn AUD 65,000, and bronze players will earn AUD 40,000.
If a participant opts for direct nomination, she can earn no more than 95% of the silver category. The duration of the WBBL is from October 19 to December 2.
