The BBL and WBBL have implemented a new trade window allowing clubs to sign players and exchange draft picks after the conclusion of their respective competitions. The contracting embargo period now begins after the home-and-away matches instead of after the final, with a 10-day trade period known as the player movement window being the only time clubs can make roster changes during the embargo. The WBBL trade window is from December 2 to December 11, while the BBL trade window runs from January 28 to February 6. Clubs are restricted in extending contracts during these periods and must adhere to squad size limits. Overseas players on multi-year deals count towards squad sizes. Trading players has been available in the BBL since 2013, with recent examples including Wes Agar and draft pick exchanges between clubs. Alistair Dobson, executive general manager of Big Bash Leagues, believes the new windows will provide certainty and stability for players and clubs during the list management cycle.
