Nikhil Chaudhary went from being an unknown Brisbane grade cricketer to a household name in just one Big Bash season. In nine matches he played six innings with the bat, averaging just over 25, with a high score of 55 and a strike rate of 142.5. He also took five wickets at an economy of 7.2 runs per over. If Chaudhary has continued to develop during the offseason, he could play a key role in helping the Hurricanes win their first Big Bash title.
Shai Hope is an elegant strokemaker from Barbados, capable of scoring all around the ground. He averages 26 at international level with a strike rate of 137, while also bringing experience from the IPL and other domestic T20 tournaments. Should he bring his best form to Australia, Hope could be the anchor of the Hurricanes’ batting this season.
Mac Wright took a big step forward in his career during the BBL13 season, scoring 202 runs at an average of 25 with a strike rate of 142. With a season-high score of 63, Wright showed he can find the boundary and clear it regularly at the top of the order for the Hurricanes.
The Hobart Hurricanes are a $6 chances to win the BBL14 title. While the squad has a brilliant balance of pace bowlers and spinners, their batting depth remains a concern. However, if Hobart’s top order is able to make a habit of strong starts, the ‘Canes could be a great value play to win the BBL this summer.

Shai Hope appears to be central to the Hurricanes’ success this season, and should he step up to the mark, he is every chance of being their leading runscorer. Hope has the temperament and technique to withstand strong bowling spells and capitalise when weaker and part-time bowlers are brought into the attack.

Riley Meredith struggled with injury throughout BBL13, but the young quick showed glimpses of his best when he took two wickets for just 15 runs against the Stars. Should he avoid injury, Meredith could return to the sort of form that delivered 21 wickets at a strike rate of 15.7 in BBL12.
The Hurricanes’ all-time XI has some of the greatest T20 players Australia produced in the early days of the format. The trio of D’Arcy Short, Ben McDermott and Matthew Wade at the top are supported by George Bailey, who was a brilliant scorer and accumulator, and Travis Birt, who could take down any bowling attack on any given day.
Xavier Doherty’s left-arm orthodox thrived in the T20 format, while Ben Laughlin is one of the BBL’s most prolific seamers. With Nathan Ellis and Riley Meredith taking the new ball, this is one very talented bowling attack.
