Supercoach Big Bash: International Player Availability, BBL16


<p>BBL franchises have gone back to the future this season, regaining the freedom to directly sign whoever they want as their international players. </p>



<p>The overseas draft was a short-lived experiment, and scrapping it is a welcome move after seeing number one picks like Liam Livingstone fail to play a single game for the Renegades—alongside plenty of other draftees who pulled out for a variety of reasons. </p>



<p>With the return to an open-market system, the great news for us SuperCoachers is that most imports are available for the entire tournament. </p>



<p>For the most part, you can lock in your international picks with certainty!</p>
