The build up to the sixth edition of the Rebel WBBL has seen player movement aplenty, with some of the game's biggest stars joining new clubs.

Reigning champions Brisbane Heat and the Melbourne Renegades are the first two clubs to reveal their full 15-player squads for the tournament, which is scheduled to begin in October.

Perth Scorchers have been one of the biggest play makers, signing last season's two highest run scorers in Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney, while the Sydney Thunder have made some handy additions to their list. 

There remains a degree of uncertainty around how the tournament will play out due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, but the good news is the season remains a full 59 matches and more games will be broadcast than ever before!

And although restrictions remain in place in Australia surrounding international travel and quarantine periods, both the league and clubs have confirmed they are committed to bringing in top talent from around the world for this edition of the tournament.

Currently, eight players from South Africa, seven from New Zealand and one from the West Indies have signed on for WBBL|06.

As per previous seasons, clubs have an allowance of up to five marquee players and a maximum of three from overseas.
