The 2022–23 Perth Scorchers Women's season is the eighth in the team's history. Coached by Shelley Nitschke and captained by Sophie Devine, the Scorchers are scheduled to play three home games at each of the WACA Ground and Lilac Hill Park during WBBL|08.[1] They entered the season as defending champions after claiming their maiden title in WBBL|07.[2]
Squad
Each 2022–23 squad is made up of 15 active players. Teams could sign up to five 'marquee players', with a maximum of three of those from overseas. Marquees were defined as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|08 signing period.
Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:[3]
- Heather Graham departed the Scorchers, signing with the Hobart Hurricanes.
- Holly Ferling signed with the Scorchers, having previously played for the Brisbane Heat, Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades.
- Maddy Darke signed with the Scorchers, having previously played for the Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars.
- Sri Lankan marquee Chamari Athapaththu did not re-sign with the Scorchers.
- New Zealand marquee Maddy Green signed with the Scorchers, having previously played for the Brisbane Heat.
