Big Bash League 2023/24 (stylised as BBL|13) will commence on December 7 with the usual eight teams, with a match between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars at the Gabba.
The first stage of the BBL will be a 40-match league, where each team plays two teams twice and the other five teams once each. These will be followed by the Page Playoffs, followed in most franchise-based leagues around the world.
Rashid Khan and Harry Brook are among the prominent cricketers to have withdrawn from this edition of the BBL. The Adelaide Strikers have replaced Rashid with David Payne, while the Melbourne Strikers have brought in Liam Dawson, albeit for three matches, for Harry Brook.
There will be two new captains this time – Nathan Ellis (Hobart Hurricanes) and Chris Green (Sydney Thunder).
