“The number of nominations from around the world – 169 so far from 15 countries – is a testament to the quality of the BBL and its status as a favourite league of players worldwide.

“Excitingly, this includes 32 players who have previously played in the BBL, with 18 eligible for retention by their club they played for last season.”
