The Perth Scorchers are set for a thrilling Big Bash League (BBL) 2024/25 season, looking to solidify their position as one of the most dominant teams in the tournament. As five-time champions, the Scorchers are looking to clinch an unprecedented sixth title. Their campaign starts on December 15, 2024, with a thrilling opener against the Melbourne Stars at Optus Stadium.
The Scorchers have a well-balanced squad with experience and emerging talent. Josh Inglis represents the consistent performer on all local and international circuits; Aaron Hardie was also the team’s leading scorer last season and keeps coming of age as a T20 all-rounder. Leadership and clutch performances remain delivered by Ashton Turner, as well as the veteran Andrew Tye, whose skill at bowls remains unmatched in franchise experience, being the franchise all-time leading wicket-taker. International players such as Finn Allen and the young Lance Morris add even more depth to a good lineup.
