Melbourne Renegades in the BBL 2024/25

For the first few seasons of the BBL, the Melbourne Renegades have been the city’s ‘little brother’ team.

While the Melbourne Stars hog much of the limelight, the ‘Gades have built a working-class reputation and attracted fans who love an underdog.

That all changed in BBL08 when the Renegades stunned the Stars in one of the most memorable Big Bash finals yet, but now they have reverted to type and look set for a tough season in 2024/25.

We’ll look at the Renegades’ odds, their squad, the BBL fixture and the best betting markets in our full team preview.

Melbourne Renegades players to watch

Josh Brown

Josh Brown

The Renegades secured the signature of former Heat player Josh Brown following his breakout BBL13 season. The former Brisbane grade cricketer averaged a whopping 40.67 with the bat, belting 140 from just 57 balls to book the Heat a spot in the BBL13 final, which they ultimately won. He’s gained more experience during the winter across the world, and should he continue to improve, will be vital to the franchise’s success after the retirements of Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh.

Laurie Evans

Laurie Evans

Laurie Evans was picked up by the Renegades in the BBL14 draft from the Perth Scorchers as another key figure in the Renegades transition, following the retirements of Finch and Marsh. Evans proved himself at the Scorchers to be a devastating middle order batter, capable of holding a 161.63 strike rate. Should he play a bigger role at the Renegades than the Scorchers, he could be another player to help Melbourne win a lot of games.

Fergus O'Neill

Fergus O’Neill

Fergus O’Neill made his BBL debut against the Hobart Hurricanes last year and impressed right away, taking 2-25 off his four overs, removing both openers inside the opening powerplay of the match. The young quick went on the improve even further, winning the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year award at the Cricket Australia awards. O’Neill will need to continue improving as a new ball bowler to give the Renegades the strike power they need.


Melbourne Renegades odds and betting tips

The Renegades are $10 outsiders to win the BBL14 competition with cricket betting sites. Given the Renegades have lost a lot of experience in the batting order with Quinton De Kock, Finch and Marsh all out of the side, along with experienced seamer Peter Siddle, this young group may struggle in difficult moments, which will make winning matches challenging.


Melbourne Renegades all-time XI

The Melbourne Renegades have had no shortage of superstars, T20 hired guns, and absolute show-stoppers in their six years in the BBL. Some have flown, while other have flopped. This is the all-time Renegades XI based on performances in the BBL:

  1. Aaron Finch
  2. Chris Gayle
  3. Cameron White
  4. Tom Cooper
  5. Ben Rohrer
  6. Dwayne Bravo
  7. Sam Harper
  8. Cameron Boyce
  9. James Pattinson
  10. Kane Richardson
  11. Muttiah Muralitharan

The Melbourne Renegades have one of the most talented All-Time XI’s with Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, and Muttiah Muralitharan all having stints at the franchise. Combined with Aaron Finch, Cameron White, and Tom Cooper, this is an incredibly dangerous batting order.

Bravo and Muralitharan lead a bowling attack with Cameron Boyce, James Pattinson and Kane Richardson who have all excelled for the franchise and gone on to represent their country.
