Alongside her, England's Heather Knight and left-arm spin sensation Sophie Ecclestone, currently the No. 1-ranked bowler in both ODIs and T20Is, are among the top names. The draft also features Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma from India, while South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt could be retained by the Adelaide Strikers after leading them to back-to-back titles.

The WBBL promises intense competition as these stars join the likes of Suzie Bates, Shabnim Ismail, and Alice Capsey, adding more depth to already strong line-ups. In BBL, among the most intriguing nominations is Shamar Joseph, who could make a triumphant return to Australian soil after his memorable Test debut at The Gabba.
