The Sydney Thunder WBBL team is a cricket team based in Sydney, Australia that competes in the women's Twenty20 Women's Big Bash League. They are one of the 8 founding teams and won the inaugural tournament. They are a franchise aligned with the current men's competition (Big Bash League) adopting the same colours and team name.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said in a media release, "We see T20 as the premium format of the women’s game and the WBBL is an exciting concept that will increase the promotion and exposure of women's cricket". Sutherland also said, "Our existing female domestic competitions are arguably the strongest in the world, with the continued success of the top-ranked women's team, the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars, a testament to that."
Players with international caps are listed in bold.
