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.
5. Tanveer Sangha - Sydney Thunder
Yet another leg-spinner, who has been on the selectors' radar for a long time is Tanveer Sangha. Following a magnificent BBL 2020-21 season, when he took 21 wickets in 15 games at 18.28, the 21-year-old earned a call-up for the T20 series in New Zealand.
Nevertheless, Adam Zampa was the lead spinner and Sangha couldn't buy a game. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sangha in the T20 World Cup squad two years later.
