They are a franchise aligned with the current men’s competition (Big Bash League) - adopting the same colours and team name.

Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said in a media release., “We see T20 as the premium format of the women’s game and the WBBL is an exciting concept that will increase the promotion and exposure of women’s cricket”.^[2] Sutherland also said, “Our existing female domestic competitions are arguably the strongest in the world, with the continued success of the top-ranked women’s team, the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars, a testament to that.”.
