Brisbane Heat Women Draft Picks and Retentions for WBBL 2023
Amelia Kerr (1st Platinum Pick),2. Bess Heath (Silver)
Amelia Kerr is again a magician. She always performed with both bat and ball. Brisbane Heat also selected England low order power hitter batsman Bess Heath in silver category.
Brisbane Heat picked Magnon Du Preez from Direct Nomination for WBBL 2023-24
Draft is not the only way by which the clubs can sign international players. There is a separate path called Direct Nomination too. If a player chooses to go this way, she would have to lose a significant amount of money, but she would have the luxury of selecting the club she wants if multiple clubs approach the player.
The WBBL players can bypass the draft and negotiate directly with a club after the draft is concluded.
While it removes the uncertainty of the draft, it does come at a cost, a player making a ‘direct nomination’ can only be paid a maximum of 95 per cent of the silver tier, meaning their salary will be restricted to $61,750 for WBBL09.
