The complete list of nominations for the Big Bash overseas player draft has been revealed, with 432 men and 161 women from 30 nations throwing their hat in the ring for this summer’s tournament.
Cricket Australia has been teasing high-profile names ahead of this weekend’s Draft, with the likes of West Indies quick Shamar Joseph and England opener Alex Hales among the candidates.
Plenty of buzz has also been created for West Indies cult figure Rahkeem Cornwall, whose nomination was revealed by CA on Monday.
However, all 593 names were unveiled on Wednesday afternoon, all of which are listed below, with the eight Big Bash clubs preparing to fight over the international talent on Sunday.
Ashes bowlers Freya Davies, Kate Cross and Lauren Filer are among the new nominations for the women’s competition, along with South African captain Sune Luus.
England seamer Ollie Robinson, who recently lost his spot in the Test side, has also nominated for the BBL Draft, along with dozens of stars from this year’s Hundred competition.
Bazballers Ben Duckett and Matthew Potts feature on the list, along with fellow England representatives Jack Leach, Reece Topley and Jofra Archer. However, many in-demand cricketers, including Duckett, Potts and Archer, are not expected to be available for the entire competition due to other commitments.
Several cricket superstars, including England Test captain Ollie Pope, Black Caps young gun Finn Allen and Indian opener Smriti Mandhana, have already inked deals with Big Bash clubs as pre-draft signings, while English cricketers Zak Crawley and Dani Gibson have withdrawn their nominations.
“The KFC BBL|14 and Weber WBBL|10 Drafts have attracted another outstanding pool of overseas players, ensuring an exciting Draft day awaits on Sunday,” Alistair Dobson, CA’s Executive General Manager of Big Bash Leagues, said in a statement.
“The nominations continue to grow in quality and quantity every year, emphasising the Big Bash’s status as destinations of choice for players the world over.
“These are supplemented by 16 top pre-signed players who have committed their long-term futures to our Leagues, a great result for fans and clubs alike.
“We thank the players and their agents from around the world for commitment to the Big Bash Leagues, and overseas boards for their support and cooperation.”
The WBBL Draft gets underway on Sunday at 3pm AEST, with the BBL Draft commencing immediately afterwards.
