Nominations for the Drafts have now closed, with nearly 600 international players expressing their availability for the upcoming Big Bash summer.
The League will release additional nominations over the next two weeks through the Big Bash App, social media, and media announcements. A final list, including availability indicators, will be published before the Drafts. Notably, a nomination means a player has not been pre-signed by any club under the new system introduced this year.
