WHAT CHANGED

Names on the move.

Renegades & Hurricanes

Jonny Bairstow and Michael Bracewell join the Renegades for BBL|16. Hobart’s list features Adam Zampa and Shai Hope, while Matthew Wade has retired from the league. A signing confirms the club list, not participation in any particular match.

Stars, Scorchers & Sixers

Finn Allen is now with the Stars. Perth lists Zak Crawley after Allen’s move; Sydney Sixers include Tim Seifert. Track late signings and international availability before using season lists for a match preview.
