Team overview
Melbourne Stars at a glance
Melbourne Stars are Cricket Victoria's green men's Big Bash League club. They have played every BBL season since 2011/12 and are distinct from Melbourne Stars Women, whose WBBL squad and results are tracked separately.
The Stars have reached three finals—BBL|05, BBL|08 and BBL|09—but remain without a men's title. They also topped the league stage in BBL|01 and BBL|03 before losing in the semi-finals.
BBL|15 brought a fourth-place league finish with six wins, four losses, 12 points and NRR +0.759. Their campaign ended in Hobart's rain-shortened Knockout, where a seven-over target of 85 left the Stars three runs short under DLS.
Sam Harper scored 381 runs and was both Stars player of the season and BBL|15 player of the tournament. Captain Marcus Stoinis added 273 runs and 15 wickets, while Tom Curran and Peter Siddle shared the team bowling lead with 16 wickets each.

Melbourne Stars BBL|16 signed squad tracker
The club's current men's directory lists 17 contracted players. This is the published BBL|16 tracker, not a claim that recruitment is closed. The completed BBL|15 season began with an 18-player list and also used temporary or match-squad additions such as Sam Hain, Blake Macdonald and Aryan Sharma; those historical participants are documented in sources rather than mixed into the current contract list.
