As the focus turns to the opening rounds of Premier Cricket and the first State matches of the summer, it is timely to revisit the KFC T20 Max Teams of the Tournament.
Top KFC T20 Max Performers Unveiled
The players of the tournament for the men's and women's competitions were front-running batters Jake Winter (Sandgate-Redcliffe) and Elyse Villani (Wynnum-Manly), pictured, who finished as the leading runs-scorers of their respective competitions.
And while both teams of the tournament were dotted with WBBL and BBL contracted players, it was exciting to see home-grown success stories named, including teenage Gators leg-spinner Lakshdeep Singh and Valley left-arm pace bowler Charlie Thomas and Queensland Country pace bowler Meghan McCartney (Valley) and hard-hitting University of Queensland batter Emma Jackson.
