Thommo Aitken
Former Supercoach BBL overall champion
Former Supercoach Big Bash champion Thommo Aitken shares his predicted availability for all international players in BBL16
BBLBBL franchises have gone back to the future this season, regaining the freedom to directly sign whoever they want as their international players.
The overseas draft was a short-lived experiment, and scrapping it is a welcome move after seeing number one picks like Liam Livingstone fail to play a single game for the Renegades—alongside plenty of other draftees who pulled out for a variety of reasons.
With the return to an open-market system, the great news for us SuperCoachers is that most imports are available for the entire tournament.
For the most part, you can lock in your international picks with certainty!
