Squad

edit

Each WBBL|03 squad featured 15 active players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Australian marquees were defined as players who made at least ten limited-overs appearances for the national team in the three years prior to the cut-off date (24 April 2017).[1]

Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:

  • Peter McGiffin was appointed head coach of the Heat, replacing Andy Richards.[2]
  • India marquee Smriti Mandhana did not return to the Heat after sustaining a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament during WBBL|02.[1][3]
  • Grace Harris returned to the Heat, having spent one season at the Melbourne Renegades.[1]
  • South Africa marquee Laura Wolvaardt signed as a replacement player for Grace Harris who would be unavailable for most of the season while recovering from injury.[4]

The table below lists the Heat players and their key stats (including runs scored, batting strike rate, wickets taken, economy rate, catches and stumpings) for the season.[5][4][6]
