The 13th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) will get underway on December 7, 2023, with 8 teams vying to win the tournament. The defending champions, the Brisbane Heat, will compete against the Melbourne Stars in the opening encounter at the Gabba in Brisbane.
With the format changed, each team will play 10 games in the league stage, and all teams are decked up with top players. Many of the prominent Australian players will play for their respective teams, along with notable overseas players.
A few players, like Rashid Khan and Harry Brook, won’t be playing in BBL 2023-24 due to various reasons. However, their respective teams have roped in replacements to fill the void in the squad.
