The 2021–22 Sydney Thunder Women's season was the seventh in the team's history. Coached by Trevor Griffin, the Thunder entered WBBL{{!}}07 as the defending champions but ended the regular season in seventh place on the ladder, recording their worst finishing position across the league's first seven editions. Due to ongoing border restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were not scheduled to play any games in their home state of New South Wales for the season.{{Cite web|title=WBBL broadcast boost as schedule rejig completed|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/wbbl-fixtures-schedule-wbbl07-adelaide-perth-mackay-border-closures-broadcast-streaming-tickets/2021-10-07|access-date=2021-10-13|website=cricket.com.au|language=en}} After captain Rachael Haynes announced she would be unlikely to participate in the season due to family reasons, Hannah Darlington was appointed to stand in as Haynes' replacement.{{Cite web|title=Hannah Darlington named captain for WBBLI07|url=https://www.sydneythunder.com.au/news/hannah-darlington-named-wbbl07-captain/2021-10-14|access-date=2021-10-14|website=Sydney Thunder|language=en}}

Squad

Each 2021–22 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 defined as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|07 signing period.{{Cite web|title=Lock it in: all the final squads for WBBL{{!}}07|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/wbbl07-squads-signings-stars-sixers-renegades-hurricanes-strikers-scorchers-heat/2021-10-09|access-date=2021-10-13|website=cricket.com.au|language=en}}

Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:

  • English marquees Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont did not re-sign with the Thunder in anticipation of a clashing schedule with national team duties.
  • South African marquee Shabnim Ismail initially re-signed with the Thunder but withdrew from the tournament due to injury.
  • Indian marquee Smriti Mandhana signed with the Thunder, returning to the league after previously playing for the Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes.

  • Rachel Trenaman departed the Thunder, signing with the Hobart Hurricanes.
