Sydney Sixers confirm big trio in Lee, Smith and Narine for the upcoming edition – Cricket News Update
In a sensational last day scoop, Sydney Sixers have announced their Australian signings of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869 for the second edition of lucrative Big Bash League.
The inaugural champions’ General Manager, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Clark-c2591, was thrilled to retain the services of the local duo, both of whom played a pivotal part in helping their side lift the coveted trophy. Lee, who earlier in the month had announced his retirement from international cricket, showed his willingness to continue playing in various domestic T20 tournaments, with the Big Bash and Indian Premier League among his top priority.
He further turned down a contract with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823, allowing youngsters to make their mark, despite confirming his intentions to perform on a match-to-match basis. Lee’s first campaign saw him take 8 wickets from 9 games, with a best of 2 for 17.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, who missed most of the campaign due to international commitments, and is expected to continue in the same role this coming season after scoring 166 runs in nine games previously.
“We may have started the signing window off slowly but as the Sixers always do, we reel out the big guns when the time is right,” said Sixers GM Stuart Clark. “We have always said that we wanted to keep together most of the members of our BBL|01 squad and Brett and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harold-William-Stephenson-c61707 have been key to that.”
The Sixers fans will further be thrilled with the overseas signing, which sees Sunil Narine plying his trade for the reigning champions. Narine’s rise has been well-documented and he is expected to provide stern test for the batters, given his pedigree in the shortest format.
“Sunil is a huge win for us as well and will bring another level of excitement to the team that we know Sixers fans will enjoy,” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clark-c51118 about the mystery spinner, who took 24 wickets in his inaugural Indian Premier League season this year with Kolkata Knight Riders.
