SuperCoach BBL: Five new dual-position players revealed after mid-season changes

Five players have been updated with dual-position status in SuperCoach BBL’s mid-season changes. See who and find out why here.

The KFC SuperCoach mid-season DPPS changes have been decided.

Five players have been updated with a second position ahead of round 5 — Chris Jordan (now BAT-BWL), Cameron Bancroft (WKP-BAT), Moises Henriques (BAT-BWL), Jack Edwards (BAT-BWL) and Corey Anderson (BAT-BWL).

Find out why each player was given DPP status below.

CHRIS JORDAN BWL to BAT-BWL

While his franchise record fifty against the Scorchers is unlikely to be replicated, Jordan has played an important hand with the bat in three out of four games for the Hurricanes. He came to the crease in the ninth over against the Sixers, after 15 overs against Perth and with six overs still to bat against the Stars. The Englishman is averaging 18 balls an innings, which is more than many batters in the BBL, and has batted as high as No.7.

CAMERON BANCROFT BAT to BAT-WKP

Bancroft has taken the gloves in the past two matches for the Thunder and appears their preferred option even after the arrival of Tom Kohler-Cadmore.

He’s likely to keep until at least the announcement of the Test squad to face West Indies, when his return to the Aussie set-up could be confirmed.

And, a first-choice wicketkeeper can’t really not have WKP status.

COREY ANDERSON (Hurricanes) BAT to BAT-BWL

The New Zealander has bowled in every match for Hobart after starting the season with two wickets against the Sixers in Launceston.

Anderson hasn’t been a prominent bowler in the past three matches but justified his BWL addition by being used in each game.

JACK EDWARDS (Sixers) BAT to BWL

Edwards has been a revelation with the ball for the Sixers and him becoming a BAT-BWL player will come as no surprise to most.

The all-rounder has more wickets than Sean Abbott and Ben Dwarshuis, ranking second with seven for the Sixers behind only Jackson Bird.

He has become even more important to Moises Henriques’ attack after Tom Curran’s suspension and scored 90 points from bowling alone against the Thunder.

MOISES HENRIQUES (Sixers) BAT

This was probably the closest of the DPP calls.

Henriques probably would have stayed BAT only had he not bowled against the Thunder.

But he shook off an injury concern and the only BBL13 game he hasn’t taken the ball in was the match he hurt his shoulder in the field.

He’s now bowled in four out of five matches and took two wickets against the Strikers.

His role is likely to be diminished when Tom Curran returns, but Henriques has done enough to justify becoming BAT-BWL.
