List of Big Bash League captains
In cricket, a captain is a player who leads the team and has additional roles and responsibilities.[1][2] The Big Bash League (BBL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Australia, which has been held annually since its first season in 2011–12.[3] In the nine seasons played, 49 players have captained their team in at least one match.[4]
Aaron Finch, from the Melbourne Renegades, has played the most matches as a captain, leading the team in 59 matches with a win–loss percentage of 47.45.[4] Among the captains who have captained more than ten matches, the Sydney Sixers' Steve Smith has the best win–loss percentage: 77.27.[4] Chris Rogers has captained the most matches without registering a win; he led the Sydney Thunder in six matches and all of them were lost.[4] There have been seven non-Australian captains in the BBL: two from New Zealand, South Africa, and the West Indies each, and one from the Netherlands.[4] Eight players have captained more than one team in their BBL career.[4]
The list includes those players who have captained their team in at least one BBL match. The list is initially organised by the number of matches as a captain and if the numbers are tied, the list is sorted by last name.[α][β][γ]
