BBL Draft: Complete list of overseas players for Big Bash League 2022-23 Draft
279 players from 19 different countries, with over 100 of the lot being among the first-timers, have nominated for the Big Bash League (BBL) draft 2022-23.
There are 12 nominated players, including former South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis, star West Indies all-rounders Andre Russell and Dwayne Bravo, Afghanistan stalwart Rashid Khan and New Zealand quick Trent Boult, who recently stepped away from the national team's central contract.
These players will be paid AU$340,000 (US $233,853 approx.) regardless of how many games they are available for.
Overall, 26 players are eligible for retention in the eight-team T20 competition, which also includes India's former U19 World Cup winning captain Unmukt Chand (now moved to USA) for the Melbourne Renegades. The player availability will be announced soon, with there being uncertainty over Pakistan players getting the NOC from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
