2022–23 Brisbane Heat WBBL season

Each 2022–23 squad was made up of 15 active players. Teams could sign up to five 'marquee players', with a maximum of three of those from overseas. Marquees were classed as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|08 signing period.

Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:[1]

• South African marquees Anneke Bosch and Nadine de Klerk did not re-sign with the Heat.
• Indian marquee Poonam Yadav did not re-sign with the Heat.
• New Zealand marquee Amelia Kerr returned to the Heat, following a season's absence.
