LIVE - WBBL and BBL overseas player drafts

That brings an end to the double draft. Plenty of talking points, not least quite a few passes. But they'll be more overseas names confirmed tomorrow in WBBL and in the coming weeks for BBL. We'll have more reaction on the site over the next few days, but now thanks for following it with us.

Melbourne Stars: Harry Brook, Haris Rauf, Usama Mir
Adelaide Strikers: Rashid Khan, Jamie Overton, Adam Hose
Hobart Hurricanes: Chris Jordan, Sam Hain, Corey Anderson
Melbourne Renegades: Quinton de Kock, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Sydney Thunder: Alex Hales, Zaman Khan
Sydney Sixers: Tom Curran, James Vince, Rehan Ahmed
Brisbane Heat: Colin Munro, Sam Billings, Paul Walter
Perth Scorchers: Zak Crawley, Laurie Evans

And Scorchers have completed things with a pass, talk about signing a player closer to the season

They are done

The England legspinner gets the pick

Another pass...interesting tactics

Interesting, an unexpected pass. They say they have a plan in place

They are done

The English middle-order batter is back for another season

The Pakistan leggie gets a call

This could be interesting...

And the round is completed with another pass. They also have first pick in the last round. Heat and Hurricanes are finished with three picks.

And now Strikers leave alone ahead of the final round

The New Zealand allrounder, another slightly out-of-the-blue selection. "A bit of a forgotten man," says Ricky Ponting

It's a hat-trick of passes

It's a double pass from the Sydney teams. Waiting from bronze. Each team has to pass once

Sixers, who have got two key names so far, don't go this round

Well, well, here's a bit of a left-field one. Strong recent form. Middle-order allrounder.

They've gone with Evans again. He had to withdraw last season after the positive dope test result. But he's free to play again now. He helped win the final two years ago. "He can bat anywhere in the top six," says Voges

Plenty of interesting selections in that round. Feels like every team is happy with how it's playing out so far:

Stars - Rauf
Strikers - J Overton
Hurricanes - Hain
Renegades - Mujeeb
Thunder - Zaman
Sixers - Vince
Heat - Billings
Scorchers - Crawley

Another of England's Ashes stars gets picked up. Strong top-order option. Adam Voges says he's surprised he's got this far in the draft. Believes he will play well at Optus.

Another familiar face returns to Heat...also a wicketkeeping option if needed. But a great outfielder. Winning captain in the Hundred recently

They back a local favourite. Good availability, the full regular season.

This is an interesting one from Thunder, the Pakistan bowler. Looked at as a strong death option

The Afghanistan spinner, useful for the conditions they often face at Marvel

The middle-order batter with a fantastic white-ball record...and there's no retention from Heat

This is an interesting one, the England allrounder. Has very good, perhaps full, availability

They've gone for the Pakistan quick who has been star with them in the past

So that's round one done.

Stars - Brook
Strikers - Rashid
Hurricanes - Jordan
Renegades - de Kock
Thunder - Hales
Sixers - T Curran
Heat - Munro
Scorchers - Pass

Same tactics as last season for the defending champions! They love a platinum pass

The New Zealand allrounder is going back to Heat

They have already retained Tom Curran

Thunder go for the tried and tested, and he has good availability

The South Africa wicketkeeper batter before heading to SA20

So another former Sixers players, and he can't be retained

The England allrounder...who could be retained by Sydney Sixers, and has been!. So that's the big retention call from Sixers.

Have retained Rashid Khan

They go for the England batting superstar who has limited (6-9 games) of availability

They've tried to get him again...and Adelaide Strikers have retained him

A reminder of the value bands

Here's how it will run...

Adelaide Strikers Rashid Khan, Colin de Grandhomme, Adam Hose
Brisbane Heat Sam Hain, Colin Munro, Sam Billings, Ross Whiteley, Tom Banton
Hobart Hurricanes Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Zak Crawley, Jimmy Neesham, Asif Ali, Sandeep Lamichhane
Melbourne Renegades Matt Critchley, Martin Guptill, Akeal Hosein, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi
Melbourne Stars Joe Clarke, Luke Wood, Haris Rauf
Perth Scorchers Stephen Eskinazi, Faf du Plessis, David Payne, Adam Lyth, Tymal Mills, Laurie Evans
Sydney Sixers James Vince, Izharulhaq Naveed, Naveen-ul-Haq, Chris Jordan, Tom Curran, Carlos Brathwaite
Sydney Thunder Rilee Rossouw, Alex Hales, Usman Qadir, Fazalhaq Farooqi

We'll be into the BBL draft shortly, so stay with us that. A bit to take stock of from the WBBL one. A few big names won't be appearing this season, but they'll be some significant additions tomorrow with direct nominations.

Sydney Thunder: Marizanne Kapp, Heather Knight, Lauren Bell
Melbourne Renegades: Hayley Matthews, Harmanpreet Kaur
Perth Scorchers: Sophie Devine, Danni Wyatt
Melbourne Stars: Alice Capsey, Maia Bouchier
Hobart Hurricanes: Shabnim Ismail, Bryony Smith
Brisbane Heat: Amelia Kerr, Bess Heath
Sydney Sixers: Chloe Tryon, Jess Kerr
Adelaide Strikers: Laura Wolvaardt, Danni Gibson

And it all ends with another pass. But Strikers may go with just two overseas

And passed

And another

And another pass. Jude Coleman: "We feel we have a really balanced squad."

Stars are happy with their lot

And another...might need to question the impact of direct nominations on the draft concept

No pick

The New Zealand swing bowler adds to the pace attack

We are down to the Silver and Bronze group now...we'll see some more passes this last round. Sydney Sixers will get the first pick

Suzie Bates, on the direct list, would seem a fit for them

I'm seeing a pattern here

Amy Jones is expected to be a direct nomination for them

Another through to the keeper

We might see a few passes now, with direct nominations to come tomorrow

Another young England player. Will bring some power

The very exciting England quick bowler. Looks like a good draft for Thunder

So, still no Deandra Dottin!

Sydney Thunder and Sydney Sixers have traded their picks in the next two rounds

This is where we could start to see some value picks. Some notable names not yet selected

Strikers have already retained in this round, which is now complete. Two to go

And another one shoulders arms...remember there are direct nominations to come

Heat don't go this round. Jess Jonassen: "We want to keep our options open."

An interesting selection from Hurricanes. Jude Coleman: "We like her style of play, we need an attacking top-order bat."

Another England batter gets taken

But Adelaide Strikers have retained her - but have still had to pay platinum level! So if the pass was tactical, it didn't really work

Scorchers wanted to strengthen their top order, and they've gone for the England batter. And she hasn't been retained by Brisbane Heat

The first India name of the evening...and it's a big one.

Another big get from Thunder as they go for the England captain. Was part of their title win in season six

Plenty of big names still available. Sydney Thunder will again go first

Pick 1: Sydney Thunder – Marizanne Kapp
Pick 2: Melbourne Renegades – Sophie Devine (retained by Perth Scorchers)
Pick 2: Melbourne Renegades - Hayley Matthews
Pick 3: Perth Scorchers - retained Devine
Pick 4: Melbourne Stars - Alice Capsey
Pick 5: Hobart Hurricanes - Shabnim Ismail
Pick 6: Brisbane Heat – Amelia Kerr
Pick 7: Sydney Sixers – Chloe Tryon
Pick 8: Adelaide Strikers – passed

A tactical move from Strikers. They still have a retention pick for the next round. They have some salary cap issues, too

The South African allrounder is an interesting call by last year's runner's up. They would have retained Sophie Ecclestone if she had been fit

We knew Heat would go for the legspinning allrounder, but she won't be available for the first couple of games

One of the quickest bowlers in the world gets selection by Hurricanes

The talented young England batter is back to the Stars

They are done this round with the Devine retention

They go for the West Indies allrounder this time.

“No Harmanpreet is interesting, says Alex Malcolm who is at the venue for us. “Molineux's fitness is still a worry so that's part of it.”

Melbourne Renegades have tried to get the New Zealand allrounder...but Perth Scorchers have hit their retention option.

"Captaincy and leadership the reason", says Scorchers' coach Bec Grundy

And there we go! Sydney Thunder go big first up, and there's no retention from Perth Scorchers which tells us which way they are going

A reminder that Sydney Thunder will get the first pick

The big early call is Sophie Devine v Marizanne Kapp for Perth Scorchers

If you want have your say on the drafts as they roll along, feel free to get in touch with me over Twitter (or X as it is these days): @andymcg_cricket

Alex Malcolm has dug into how the drafts could play out. There is a key decision that will take place early in the WBBL one, while in the BBL availability will again be a major issue due to international and league clashes.

Adelaide Strikers Laura Wolvaardt, Deandra Dottin, Stafanie Taylor
Brisbane Heat Amelia Kerr, Danni Wyatt, Jess Kerr, Pooja Vastrakar, Nadine de Klerk
Hobart Hurricanes Hayley Jensen, Issy Wong
Melbourne Renegades Hayley Matthews, Chamari Athapaththu, Shabhim Ismail, Harmanpreet Kaur, Eve Jones
Melbourne Stars Alice Capsey, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Jemimah Rodrigues, Bess Heath
Perth Scorchers Marizanne Kapp, Sophie Devine, Maddy Green
