BBL: Warner Signs Two-year Deal With Sydney Thunder; Smith To Play For Sixers
Big Bash League: David Warner is set to be a full-time presence in the Big Bash League (BBL) for the first time in his career after signing a new two-year contract with Sydney Thunder while Steven Smith would continue to grace the competition beyond his Test career, with a new three-year deal with Sydney Sixers.
Warner’s availability for the entire season marks a significant boost for Thunder. After recently ending his international career, the explosive opener is now free to focus solely on the BBL. Warner, who had only featured in eight games for Thunder over the past two seasons due to international commitments, will now bring his nearly 20 years of T20 experience to bear across the entire tournament, including the finals.
"Davey is popular wherever he plays, right around the world, particularly in India, and I know the South Asian communities in Sydney's west will get right behind him at Thunder," said Thunder general manager Trent Copeland in a statement released on Tuesday.
