The 2024–25 Women's Big Bash League season or WBBL|10 (also known as Weber Women's Big Bash League 2024 for sponsorship reasons) is the 10th season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), the semi-professional women's Twenty20 domestic cricket competition in Australia. The tournament is being played from 27 October 2024, with the final scheduled to be held on 1 December 2024. [1] [2] [3] Adelaide Strikers are the defending champions. [4] [5]

Background

On 9 July 2024, it was announced that the 10th season of the tournament would begin on 27 October 2024, seven days after the conclusion of the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. [1]

In July 2024, Cricket Australia introduces a new domestic Twenty20 Cricket event, called T20 Spring Challenge, that forms part of the Australia domestic cricket season. The league was aimed to make up for the absence of high-profile matches in Australia every year and to expose talented players from Country. The new nine-team T20 features teams aligned with the eight Big Bash clubs along with the ACT Meteors. The T20 Spring Challenge bascially acts as a preseason tournament for the WBBL, with the inaugural winners being Hobart Hurricanes.

Draft

The 2024–25 season players draft was held on 1 September 2024. [6] [7] [8] [9]
