Following a failed T20 World Cup campaign on home soil, Australia are in dire need of a reset.
The selectors retained the core of the 2021 side that won the tournament in the United Arab Emirates, but the group failed to replicate the success this year and were eliminated in the group stages.
As a result, several pundits and experts called to scrap the ageing side and blood youngsters.
While the Big Bash League hasn't been a strong breeding ground for Australia's T20 cricketers, it still remains the platform for developing T20 players.
Hence, an unsuccessful T20 World Cup campaign puts all the more pressure on the tournament to produce the right kind of talent for the national side.
We take a look at five players whose performances in BBL 2021-22 can catapult them to Australia's T20 side.
4. Lance Morris - Perth Scorchers
Tearaway quick Lance Morris grabbed the headlines after earning a call-up to Australia's Test squad for the recent Test against the West Indies.
Morris' West Australian teammate Hilton Cartwright has described him faster than Mitchell Starc and that his pace doesn't drop regardless of the number of overs.
However, his BBL numbers are not so inspiring from his limited appearances. Nevertheless, with age on Morris' side, he is only likely to get quicker. At the same time, the 24-year-old will need telling performances to break into the T20 side.
