Aaron Hardie has solidified his reputation as one of the BBL’s top players by being named in the Team of the Tournament for the third time in four seasons, the only player to achieve this. He is the leading run-scorer for the Perth Scorchers this season with 334 runs and has contributed 11 wickets, aiding the team’s progression to the final. Finn Allen, another key player, was also included in the team, which featured five players from the Melbourne Stars. David Warner, despite his team’s last-place finish, was named captain of the XI.
