BBL 2024-25 - Final Squads and Probable Playing XI

A new season of the Big Bash League is about to go on the floors and the Australian domestic cricket is expected to reach new heights. BBL 2024-25 is expected to be more thrilling and exciting because of the multiple changes in every squad. The online betting apps have uploaded the best odds for the upcoming season of the league.

In the previous edition of BBL, Brisbane Heat came out as the trophy winners by defeating Sydney Sixers in the final game. Brisbane Heat were also the table-toppers with 7 wins and a single loss with a net run rate of +0.972. It was their 2nd trophy of the league as they also lifted the trophy in the 2012-13 season.

Sydney Sixers were next to the Brisbane Heat with 6 wins and 2 losses at the league stage. Their net run rate stood at +0.339. Surprisingly, Sydney Sixers defeated Brisbane Heat in the 1st playoffs but they were not able to overcome the challenge for the 2nd time.

Perth Scorchers, who have won the trophy 5 times, stood 3rd in the point table with 6 wins and 3 losses. They qualified for the eliminator fixture and then lost the game to Adelaide Strikers - who were 4th at the league stage.

The Big Bash League draft for the upcoming season took place on 1st September and hence every franchise is coming back to action after multiple changes in their squad. Some new faces from the Australian domestic circuit are also making their debut for the big tournament.

In this article, we have collected the probable playing XI of every franchise. These probable playing XI might change later on because of the commitment of players for the international fixtures or other cricket leagues.
