Team News
Sydney Thunder:
On Tuesday, December 13, at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, the Big Bash League 2022 will begin with a match between the Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars. Thunder finished the last season with a record of 9–14 and made the playoffs. They were eliminated after losing the semifinal contest to Adelaide Strikers by just six runs. Usman Khawaja, who led the team last year, was among the players they let go.
David Warner, who will be available for selection following the Test series against South Africa, was hired by them. Fazalhaq Farooqi was chosen instead of David Willey, who withdrew from the tournament after being selected at the draft. Another new member of the team, Rilee Rossouw, is expected to maintain his outstanding performance from the T20 World Cup. The team’s captain for the current campaign is Jason Sangha, who concluded the previous campaign with the most runs scored.
Melbourne Stars:
Adam Zampa has been selected as the Stars captain for the upcoming season by Melbourne Stars. Glenn Maxwell, who fractured his leg last month was replaced by Tom Rogers. Trent Boult was also chosen for the team, however, he will leave the competition before the ILT20 competition begins. The 20-year-old hitter Cambell Kellaway has agreed to a one-year contract. He recently hit a century for the Cricket Australia XI against South Africa in a scrimmage. Luke Wood, a left-arm pacer who made his England debut this year, is also in the team and is most likely to be included in the starting lineup for this first game.
