In cricket, a captain is a player who leads the team and has additional roles and responsibilities. The Big Bash League (BBL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Australia, which has been held annually since its first season in 2011âÂÂ12. In the fifteen seasons played, 67 players have captained their team in at least one match.
Moises Henriques, from the Sydney Sixers, has played the most matches as a captain, leading the team in 120 matches. There have been eight non-Australian captains in the BBL: three from New Zealand, South Africa, and the West Indies each, and one from the Netherlands. Eight players have captained more than one team in their BBL career.
This list includes those players who have captained their team in at least one BBL match. It is sorted by the date each player first took over captaincy. These statistics do not cover matches played in other tournaments such as the Champions League Twenty20. Players who captained a team during the 2025âÂÂ26 season are highlighted in bold.
