History
The Adelaide Strikers were formed at the beginning of the Big Bash League formation in 2011. When the tournament was first formed, every team had a chance to sign up players and assemble their lists. On 30 June 2011, the contracting window started at 9am and closed on 22 July 2011. Each team was permitted to contract with 18 players, as well as up to two from overseas. Michael Klinger was the team’s first captain and Darren Berry was the inaugural coach.
The upcoming edition of the Big Bash league will be more exciting as all franchise based BBL teams are well balanced and organized with a combination of expert batsmen, bowlers and all-rounder. They would play using their own talent to stifle the opposition and will try to win matches.
