Summer is almost upon us, which means the Big Bash is nearing a return for a 13th season.
After claiming their record fifth title last year, Perth Scorchers have kept their roster largely in tact - but the same can't be said the Melbourne Stars, who have bid farewell to long-time spinner, Adam Zampa.
Other moves across the competition include Cameron Bancroft signing with Sydney Thunder and Nathan Lyon signing on with Melbourne Renegades, with the competition officially kicking off on December 7th.
The Sporting News has all the squad information for BBL|13 below.
