After winning BBL|08, the Renegades had a disastrous season last summer, finishing last. Despite losing key players, the squad is hoping its luck will turn and the Victorians can recover some of their former glory.

Dan Christian, Tom Cooper and Jack Wildermuth left the team for greener pastures, but the Renegades brought in fresh faces to compensate for the loss to play alongside skipper Aaron Finch. New players include Rilee Rossouw and Imran Tahir, both from South Africa. Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad is in as well.

Melbourne Renegades history

After four consecutive years with no finals action, the Renegades started to bounce back during BBL|07. They finished third during the regular season, bowing out in the semi-finals.

BBL|08 was their best season yet, bringing them their first championship title. The victory was even sweeter as they played the final against rivals Melbourne Stars. The Melbourne Derby always draws big crowds.

The Renegades play their home matches at Marvel Stadium. Michael Klinger is the squad's coach, while Aaron Finch is captain.
