The 2022–23 Sydney Thunder Women's season is the eighth in the team's history. Coached by Trevor Griffin, the Thunder are scheduled to play three home games at Blacktown ISP Oval, as well as two at North Sydney Oval and one at Manuka Oval during WBBL|08.[1][2] After missing the entirety of WBBL|07 due to family reasons, captain Rachael Haynes returned to the team in 2022–23 for her final season, having announced her impending retirement from professional cricket.[3]
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:[4]
- English marquee Issy Wong departed the Thunder, signing with the Hobart Hurricanes.
- Indian marquees Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma did not re-sign with the Thunder.
- English marquee Tammy Beaumont returned to the Thunder after a season's absence.
- English marquee Amy Jones signed with the Thunder, having previously played for the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers.
- South African marquee Chloe Tryon signed with the Thunder, having previously played for the Hobart Hurricanes.
- New Zealand marquee Lea Tahuhu signed with the Thunder as a replacement player, having previously played for the Melbourne Renegades.[5]
- Kate Peterson departed the Thunder, signing with the Sydney Sixers.
- Belinda Vakarewa returned to the Thunder, departing the Hobart Hurricanes.
- Saskia Horley returned to the Thunder as a replacement player. Horley was approved as a local signing due to her permanent residence in Australia, despite having recently played international cricket for Scotland.[5]
