The Adelaide Strikers are a professional Twenty20 cricket team located in Adelaide, South Australia, that competes in the Big Bash League (BBL). Their home stadium is the Adelaide Oval, and they wear cornflower blue uniforms. The Strikers were founded in 2011 to replace the Southern Redbacks, who competed in the now-defunct KFC Twenty20 Big Bash. Their only BBL triumph came in 2017-18.
The Adelaide Strikers were established in 2011 as a result of the establishment of the Big Bash League. When the tournament initially started, each club could sign up players and develop their rosters. The contracting window started on June 30, 2011, at 9 a.m., and concluded on July 22, 2011. Each squad was able to enroll up to 18 players, including two from outside the country. The team's first captain was Michael Klinger of South Australia, while the first coach was Darren Berry of the Southern Redbacks.
