Hello and welcome to this new series where I will be discussing the ongoing big bash league, teams and impact players of this season.
Big Bash is the second most popular cricket league in the world and it is gaining popularity as it advances further.
I guess I am a bit late because you might have been expecting this earlier from me. Never mind, I am here now and I will give you the analysis of all the eight teams participating in this year's big bash.
Unlike other major cricket leagues of the world which permit 4 overseas players in a playing eleven, Big Bash only permits two. That is mainly because they want more local players to have a go and
So let me share the teams and their squads in this post and we will get to the real business in my coming posts, that is team analysis and impact players.
