'Exciting New Start': Tom Curran On His BBL Move From Sixers To Stars
Big Bash League: England allrounder Tom Curran has made a significant shift in his Big Bash League (BBL) career, leaving the Sydney Sixers after six successful years to join the Melbourne Stars. Curran’s decision to switch clubs ahead of the BBL 14 season was driven by the Stars' offer of a multi-year contract, a proposition that the Sixers were unable to match.
The 29-year-old, who had been a key figure for the Sixers, signed a two-year deal with the Stars in June, making him the second player to bypass the league’s draft in favour of a long-term commitment under the new contracting rules. This move came after a tumultuous season with the Sixers, where Curran faced a four-match suspension for intimidating an umpire and was sidelined for the final games due to a knee injury.
Despite the challenges of the previous season, Curran emphasised that his departure from the Sixers was amicable.
