The BBL and WBBL overseas player drafts have been scheduled for Sunday, September 3, before the upcoming season kicks off.

The draft process will comprise four rounds, each focusing on different categories of players for selection:

• Round 1: Platinum Only
• Round 2: Platinum and Gold
• Round 3: Gold and Silver
• Round 4: Silver and Bronze

Alistair Dobson, CA’s General Manager of Big Bash Leagues, expressed the significance of the draft order confirmation for list managers and high-performance staff in shaping their strategies for the forthcoming seasons. With two drafts and the possibility of trading draft picks, the clubs are preparing for a busy and exciting time.

World-class cricketers have already been nominated for the WBBL and BBL drafts, and their names, along with players elevated to the Platinum List, will be revealed in the next month.
