England batter Alex Hales, West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran and South Africa duo of Faf du Plessis and Rilee Rossouw are among the six batters to be nominated for the upcoming overseas draft of the Big Bash League (BBL), to be held on September 3. Pooran, who was recently in the spotlight for his mammoth 137 runs off 55 balls for MI New York in the Major League Cricket final, will be capturing the attention of multiple clubs ahead of the BBL starting from December 7. His previous stint in the BBL came in the 2020-21 season where he made six appearances for Melbourne Stars.
