BBL Supercoach | Full Player Availabilities

Overseas players

International player availability looks far more promising heading into BBL|15, with only a handful of stars expected to miss games due to national commitments.

Teams appear to be prioritising overseas signings who can feature across the entire season, giving SuperCoach players greater confidence in locking in their squads early.

Importantly, Pakistan has emerged as a major contributor this year, with several of its big-name players committing to the competition and adding extra firepower to the league.

As always, availability details can shift as global schedules evolve, and we’ll continue to provide updates as the tournament draws closer.

Australian Test Players

The availability of Australian Test players looms as another consideration heading into this year’s BBL.

With the Test squad locked in for the summer, frontline stars are unlikely to feature until after the Sydney Test, while fringe members could be released at varying stages depending on team balance and scheduling.

It shapes as a genuine “watch this space” scenario, with news on player releases potentially dropping right on the eve of the tournament—or even mid-rounds—creating significant ripple effects for squad planning and trade strategies.
