The Hobart Hurricanes XI are storming into the 2025 Global Super League full of confidence as the reigning Big Bash League champions for the tournament that will be played from July 10 to 18. The squad is full of international talent and quality T20 players. In short, the Australian outfit is eyeing both the GSL trophy and the US$1 million paycheck.

Ben McDermott, the captain, will lead the batting order for the Hurricanes. As a highly experienced wicketkeeper-batsman who has played in T20 leagues in Australia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, and England, McDermott’s international experience gives the top order of the Hurricanes a cutting edge.

The Hurricanes’ pace unit includes Jackson Bird, Billy Stanlake, and West Indies all-rounder Odean Smith, whose past experience with the Guyana Amazon Warriors gives them an inside track on local conditions. Their spin attack is equally potent with Mohammad Nabi, Mohammad Nawaz, and Nikhil Chaudhary—all capable of making valuable contributions with both bat and ball.
