There is a buzz around the return of Australian opener David Warner, who will be featuring for Sydney Thunder after a gap of 9 years. He last played the competition in 2013. Thunder also has some interesting signings for this season.
The biggest of them includes England’s Alex Hales who has shown during the T20 World Cup last month, the destruction he can carry. Thunder has a young captain Jason Sangha but there is no shortage of firepower, both with the bat and the ball for the franchise.
For Melbourne Stars, the absence of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell due to a freak accident resulting in breaking his leg for the entire season. Spinner Adam Zampa will lead the side, and he has some good support from Marcus Stoinis and Kiwi pacer Trent Boult. In the last season, they finished at the sixth spot, and would like to go the distance this year.
Sydney Thunder – Oliver Davies, Brendan Doggett, Matthew Gilkes, Chris Green, Alex Hales, Baxter Holt, Nathan McAndrew, Alex Ross, Rilee Rossouw, Daniel Sams, Jason Sangha, Tanveer Sangha, David Warner, Fazalhaq Farooqi (replacing David Willey, first nine matches only), Ben Cutting, Usman Qadir, Gurinder Sandhu
Melbourne Stars – Trent Boult, Joe Burns, Hilton Cartwright, Joe Clarke, Brody Couch, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Liam Hatcher, Clint Hinchliffe, Nick Larkin, Glenn Maxwell (c), Marcus Stoinis, Beau Webster, Luke Wood, Adam Zampa, Campbell Kellaway

What’s the BBL 2022-23 format like?
Over the course of 61 games, eight teams will face off against one another in a round-robin format, followed by knockout rounds. The knockout stage consists of five matches: the eliminator, the qualifier, the knockout, the challenger, and the big final, which will take place on February 4.
The sides finishing fourth and fifth, after each team has played the other home and away, will lock horns in the first playoff, the Eliminator. The loser will be knocked out and the winner will stay alive in the tournament. Teams finishing first and second will square off in qualifiers and the winner will secure its place in the final.
The loser will have to go through a long route to join them. They will go through the knockout (3rd place vs winner of Eliminator), followed by a Challenger (loser of Qualifier vs winner of Knockout), and then the final (winner of qualifier vs winner of the challenger).
Eight teams. One winner.
