Women’s Big Bash League 2023
The Adelaide Strikers are the present champions of the Women’s Big Bash League 2023, having won their first title in WBBL|08. The Women’s Big Bash League will consist of the same eight franchises situated in cities as the Big Bash League.
Prior to the 2023 WBBL season, Cricket Australia decided to host the overseas draught for the first time in BBL history.
WBBL 2023 Squad
WBBL teams will have the opportunity to select up to three overseas stars via the draught, with a retention selection enabling them to retain one of their key WBBL|08 players. The draught procedure is anticipated to resemble the BBL’s draught, which was implemented last summer.
