Melbourne Renegades - AUS Cricket Fantasy Team Preview

The Melbourne Renegades will be looking to improve on their 7th-place finish in 2023/24. With key losses to retirement in Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch, the Gades have signed some heavy hitters. The Kiwi Keeper/Batsman Tim Seifert comes into the squad and will likely open with batting sensation Josh Brown. Their bowling lineup might be cause for concern, however, let's hope the firepower up top can secure a few wins for the Melbourne outfit. Check out the Melbourne Renegades

Must-Have Wicket Keeper / Batsman

Josh Brown - 30

The Renegades have made a great signing in Josh Brown and if he can show glimpses of his form from last season, that legend currently sitting on the GDS marketplace may be swooped up pretty quickly.

Must-Have Bowler

Tom Rogers - 30

The Renegades are a bit thin at the Bowling position but Tom Rogers will be looking to top the bowling figures again this season. Of the Bowlers backing up in the 24/25 season, his average has him ranked 12th overall. 

Must-Have All-Rounder

Will Sutherland - 25

It's hard to go past the new captain, Will Sutherland. You can expect him to have a greater role with the ball this year and a definite option to consider for your all-rounder position, given the power-hitting potential at the end of the innings.
