Big Bash League 2021 All Teams Squads and Player List

Big Bash League 2021 All Teams Squads: The SportsRush present before you full squads of teams taking part in Big Bash League 2021-22.

The 11th season of the Big Bash League will kick-start with the first match set to be played between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars in Sydney tomorrow. The proceedings will then move to Canberra where Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat will lock horns on Monday.

Australia’s premier T20 tournament comprises of eight teams which will play 14 matches each (seven home and seven away format) in the league stage. The top five teams will then qualify for the playoffs which will be played between January 21-28. A total of 61 matches will be played across 55 days in BBL 2021-22.

A primary reason why this BBL season will be followed more closely by the Indian fans is the presence of former India U-19 captain Unmukt Chand at Melbourne Renegades. Chand, 28, had retired from Indian cricket earlier this year to ply his trade in overseas tournaments.
