The Hobart Hurricanes, run by Cricket Tasmania, have been invited to participate in the Global Super League (GSL) after claiming their maiden BBL title this January. They will be the second Australian side to compete in the tournament. Cricket Victoria sent a team that competed in state colours last year. That team came second and was led by former New Zealand allrounder Corey Anderson. Netherlands captain Scott Edwards and a handful of young players also represented them since the tournament coincided with Australia's domestic season. Hurricanes to Field Strong Team Cricket Tasmania intends to field a side under the name Hurricanes and wishes to select the strongest possible team. The tournament will take place in July, coinciding with Australia's Test tour of the Caribbean and prior to their T20I series against the West Indies. The Hurricanes have recruited Australia Test all-rounder Beau Webster, but he could miss the tournament if he heads on the Test tour. Nathan Ellis and Tim David, Australia's T20I players, will also likely miss GSL if they are selected for the T20I series. Riley Meredith may also be selected for that series.

Cricket Tasmania has inquired of Cricket Australia if Ellis and David will be available for GSL. As Ellis is on a national contract, he could be rested for the T20Is, and David may also feature for Rangpor Riders, last year's GSL champions, having played a single match for them in the Bangladesh Premier League. The GSL dates could be shifted to February in the future. If that is the case, it might be difficult for Australian teams to participate due to their domestic season. Western Australia/Perth Scorchers were invited last year but declined because the tournament conflicted with their schedule. Cricket Victoria chief executive Nick Cummins said his team enjoyed themselves at the GSL and hopes the tournament will become even larger. Nick Cummins said: "It was amazing. We were really impressed with how they ran the tournament, the quality of the cricket and the quality of the wickets. I've long been an advocate for bringing back the Champions League, and I'd really love to see that take place and, at the moment, the GSL is the closest thing that cricket's got to that. "I think they prefer that we're playing in Big Bash colours rather than state colours and hopefully that's something that evolves too."
