A seven-member panel to choose 12 players

for the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) Team of the Tournament has been

confirmed. This is the first time such a move has been taken. The team of the

tournament will have a maximum of three overseas players as per the WBBL

playing conditions.









The panel comprises Alistair Dobson – head of

Big Bash Leagues, Matthew Mott – Australia’a head coach, Belinda Clark – former

Australia Captain, Lisa Sthalekar and Mel Jones – former players, Alister

Nicholson – commentator and Laura Jolly – Cricket Australia journalist.









“This will be the first season we name an

official Team of the Tournament and it’s exciting to be able to recognise the

best performed players in the competition in this way. We’ve got a good mix of

panel members who have all watched a lot of WBBL and will have a close eye on

the last round of matches in Sydney and Melbourne this weekend,” said Dobson.









“With the tournament going standalone this

season, it’s been really pleasing to see all the fans turn out to watch the

best players from across the globe in action both in person and on TV. We’ve

seen some incredible moments across the season and picking the top 12 players

won't be an easy task."
