BBL Draft: 7 IPL stars to go under the hammer for Big Bash League
The Big Bash League's (BBL) upcoming edition could feature as many as seven Indian Premier League (IPL) superstars. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis headlines the nomination list that also features several big names from other IPL franchises.
The BBL 2022-23 is expected to start on December 13 and the final is likely to take place on February 4. Overseas players are free to play in other leagues during the second half of Australia’s T20 extravaganza. The UAE league is proposed to take place from January 6 to February 12.
Here, we take a look at the seven IPL players who will be part of the BBL Draft.
#1 Dwayne Bravo
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) superstar and one of the biggest match winners of all time, Dwayne Bravo forms part of the BBL’s overseas draft. He has previous experience playing in the Big Bash League.
He has picked 49 wickets and scored 677 runs across 45 innings in the tournament. The all-rounder was previously associated with the Melbourne Renegades.
Overall, the veteran has played 542 T20s with 6,831 runs and 596 wickets. The West Indies superstar has won as many as 16 T20 titles in his illustrious career. At 38, he still seems to have a couple of years of T20 cricket left in him.
