BBL and WBBL lottery draft dates confirmed

The dates for the BBL and WBBL overseas player drafts have been confirmed and will take place on Sunday, September 3, ahead of the new season.

The Draft will feature four rounds- each one with a different category of players to choose from.

Round 1: Platinum Only
Round 2: Platinum and Gold
Round 3: Gold and Silver
Round 4: Silver and Bronze

“The confirmation of the order of selections for both Drafts is a key step for list managers and high-performance staff as they continue to shape their strategy for the coming seasons,” Alistair Dobson, CA's General Manager of Big Bash Leagues, said in a statement.

“With two Drafts and the ability to trade Draft picks, it will be a busy and exciting time for all Clubs ahead.

“Some of the world's best cricketers have already nominated for this year's WBBL and BBL Drafts, we look forward to announcing their nominations as well as the players who are elevated to the Platinum List over the course of the next month.”
