10. Nathan Lyon ($195,600)

These are the Big Bash League players who charged the highest money. Nathan Lyon is ranked eighth despite not playing in the BBL much. For $195,600, Sydney Sixers purchased his services. The top-ranked Australian Test bowler has only participated in 33 Big Bash League games but has already grabbed 41 wickets.

9. Dan Christian ($197,900)

Dan Christian will be remembered as among the greatest players in Big Bash League history. He began with the Brisbane Heat before being acquired by the Hobart Hurricanes for a sizable price of $197,900.

In his BBL career, he has 1745 runs scored and 82 wickets taken. Over the time of the Big Bash ten seasons, he has played for four different four clubs.

8. Ashton Agar  ($197,900)

Many expected to see Ashtofor. For many people, Agar of the Perth Scorchers secured 8th place. The Agar charged $197,900 for playing BBL and added his name to the list of highest-paid players.

7. Rashid Khan  ($198,800)

Rashid Khan is only 22 years old and is the Big Bash League’s highest-paid foreign player. The Adelaide Strikers are a team of talented spin bowlers. In his first season with Adelaide Strikers, he won the title and received a well-deserved $198,800 wage cap.

6. Alex Carey ($199,600)

Playing for Adelaide Strikers is Alex Carey. A courageous wicketkeeper batter might make a stunning $199,600 per season.

5. Joe Root ($200,000)

Knowing he does not possess a strong T20 background, including Joe Root on this list, might be a minor surprise. Root makes his IPL start during the 2018–19 tournament, the first time he has ever participated in the Big Bash. Sydney Thunder acquired him for a massive $200,000. The England Test captain played seven matches but only managed 116 runs and no wickets.

4. Chris Lynn ($202,000)

Chris Lynn is among the top players competing in the Big Bash. The aggressive opening batter represented Brisbane Heat and identified himself as the team’s symbol.

3. Marcus Stoinis ($227,900)

Marcus Stoinis began his career with the Perth Scorchers but has succeeded for the Melbourne Stars. He has taken 36 wickets and scored 2137 runs.

Stoinis is a terrific player due to his impact. Thus, it is unsurprising that he is on this ranking of the highest-paid Big Bash players. He is paid $227,900 and comes in third place on the list.

2. Andrew Tye ($246,800)

Among the most important players for Perth Scorchers is Andrew Tye, who struggled for Rajasthan Royals in this IPL edition. The 33-year-old knuckleball legend makes a staggering $246,800 annual salary.

1. D’Arcy Short ($258,900)

The Big Bash’s most expensive player in history is D’Arcy Short. He is the only player with a total salary of $258,900. The left-handed opener has only played in the Big Bash League for the past five years but has significantly impacted the competition.
