Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia’s Executive General Manager, Big Bash Leagues, said:
“The tenth Weber WBBL Team of the Tournament fittingly includes a combination of all-time greats, experienced and consistent performers, and new faces from Australia and overseas.
“There are few superlatives appropriate for the feats of Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry throughout WBBL history, but we are equally pleased to recognise new players for their performances this season.
“Our congratulations go to all players selected, including the seven first-time players in the merit side, and first-time captain Sophie Molineux.
“We also thank all eight WBBL head coaches for their efforts in selecting this team.”
