State squads: All the ins and outs for the 2021-22 season

ACT Meteors

The Canberra side have lost one of their leading quicks, with Maitlan Brown joining NSW, while veteran Erin Osborne has not signed a new state contract, as she seeks to strike a better balance between her playing commitments while dedicating more time to her coaching aspirations. However, the off-spinner will continue to train with the Meteors and will be available for selection when her schedule permits. Brown's exit has been offset by the signings of bowlers Gabrielle Sutcliffe and Chloe Rafferty, while emerging batter Kayla Burton has also been given a contract.

New South Wales

Men

With seven CA contracted players on their list, the Blues have turned to youth and given a handful of rookies from last season full contracts for this summer. Oliver Davies and Tanveer Sangha are on the full list after impressing in the KFC BBL last season, while Lachlan Hearne and Baxter Holt have also been upgraded after playing a role in Shield cricket at the end of last summer. NSW's depth is highlighted by the fact batters Nick Larkin and Daniel Solway have both been delisted, while spinner Arjun Nair has been released and seamer Nathan McAndrew has joined South Australia.

The Breakers have boosted their pace stocks for this season by recruiting Maitlan Brown from the ACT after she broke into the national squad last summer. NSW have also added teenagers Jade Allen and Claire Moore, who are both in their final year of high school, while Hayley Silver-Holmes (Tasmania), Maddy Darke and Lisa Griffth (both Western Australia) have all moved interstate.

Queensland

Men

The reigning Marsh Sheffield Shield champions have kept the bulk of their squad together for their title defence, although paceman Brendan Doggett – who has moved to South Australia – represents a big loss. Nathan McSweeney has also joined the Redbacks while James Bazley has been upgraded to a full deal after showing some good signs last summer, particularly for the Brisbane Heat in the BBL. Will Prestwidge, the son of ex-Bulls allrounder Scott and brother of Melbourne Renegades prospect Jack and Fire quick Georgia, has earned a rookie contract, while Corey Hunter and Benji Floros have been delisted.

South Australia

Men

The Redbacks have had some significant player turnover after their winless campaign last summer, with six new faces added to the senior list. Paceman Brendan Doggett is the most accomplished recruit having joined from Queensland, while highly-rated Western Australian Jake Carder has also signed on after his opportunities were limited in the west. Batsman Nathan McSweeney has joined from Queensland, Nathan McAndrew and Ryan Gibson have moved from NSW and former Victoria junior Sam Kerber has also earned a full contract. Veteran trio Callum Ferguson, Chadd Sayers (both retired) and Tom Cooper have all dropped off the list along with batsmen Brad Davis and Conor McInerney, allrounder Cameron Valente and seamer Luke Robins.

Tasmania have made minimal squad changes, with the retirement of Alex Doolan the most notable omission alongside seam bowlers Tom Rogers and Alex Pyecroft as well as batters Keegan Oates and Jack White.

Women

Tigers coach Salliann Beams has continued her impressive recruitment drive in the Apple Isle, luring Victoria stars Elyse Villani and Molly Strano and young fast bowler Hayley Silver-Holmes from NSW. It brings to 10 the number of contracted players who have relocated from other states or countries in the past three years, with the three new recruits joining a team that narrowly missed out on a spot in the WNCL final last season. Spinner Sam Bates has left to join Victoria, Brooke Hepburn (retired) and Meg Phillips (delisted) have also moved on while Emma Thompson (maternity leave) will miss this season and be replaced by Emma Manix-Geeves.

Victoria

Men

The Vics have made only minor changes to their list for this season, with left-hander James Seymour – who made his Shield debut late last summer – earning a full contract after dominating at club level in Melbourne.

With six CA contracted players on their list, the Vics have said farewell to long-time representatives Elyse Villani and Molly Strano, who have both joined Tasmania after topping the run-scorer's and wicket-taker's lists respectively in last season's WNCL. Spinner Sam Bates has gone the other way, joining from Tasmania, Courtney Neale has signed with WA while Tiana Atkinson, Ella Hayward, Rhys McKenna, Rhiann O'Donnell and Lara Shannon have all earned new deals.

WA have looked east to boost their squad for the new season, recruiting wicketkeeper-batter Maddy Darke and allrounder Lisa Griffith from NSW as well as fast bowler Courtney Neale from Victoria.
