Key targets for BBL clubs

KEY UNATTACHED PLAYERS YOUR BBL CLUB SHOULD BE CHASING

DAVID WARNER

The Australia vice-captain hasn't played BBL since 2013 and says he prefers not to play a Twenty20 tournament during the Test summer but if a club can convince him to sign on he'll be box office draw.

CHRIS GAYLE

The West Indian is a big draw and a global cricket star but will Cricket Australia allow a franchise to sign him following his controversial live interview with Ten Network reporter Mel McLaughlin during this summer's tournament?

MITCHELL JOHNSON

Now retired from international cricket, fast bowler Johnson will be a hot commodity. Perth and Brisbane have already shown interest in the left-armer whose powerful batting makes him perfect for T20 cricket.

SAMUEL BADREE

Brisbane's best bowler in this summer's tournament, picking up nine wickets including a five-for against the Sydney Sixers. The Heat are keen to retain the West Indian but others are sure to make a bid.

BRAD HOGG

Surely the evergreen Hogg couldn't play anywhere but Perth? The 44-year-old continues to defy Father Time and will probably stick with the Scorchers if he keeps playing but another franchise is sure to make a play if they hear they're a chance.
