BBL Gears Up: Who’s In, Who’s Out for BBL|14?
Cricket fans rejoice!

This year’s BBL draft saw a bunch of exciting young guns secure their spots alongside the league’s established stars.
The Hobart Hurricanes, fresh off a disappointing BBL|13 campaign, surprised everyone by snatching talented all-rounder Will Sutherland with the top pick.
Meanwhile, the Sydney Thunder sent a strong message by drafting explosive batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk, signaling their intent to challenge for their maiden BBL title.
The BBL player market was buzzing this off-season with some high-profile trades. The biggest shocker was Tom Curran’s switch from the Sydney Sixers to the Melbourne Stars.
The English all-rounder, boasting the third-most wickets by an overseas player in BBL history, brings experience and firepower to a Stars outfit hungry for finals glory.
But will this gamble pay off for the Stars, or will the Sixers regret letting go of such a valuable asset?
With Glenn Maxwell stepping down after a successful stint, the Melbourne Stars are on the hunt for a new leader. Could the ever-reliable Marcus Stoinis be handed the reins? Over at the Perth Scorchers, skipper Ashton Agar will be looking to maintain their dominance after their BBL|13 near miss.
