Big Bash League 2021 runners-up Sydney Thunder will open a charged-up Big Bash League 2022 season against the Melbourne Stars at Canberra’s picturesque Manuka Oval, the western Sydney club’s ‘second home’ on Tuesday (December 13). Former England coach Trevor Bayliss’s 15-man Thunder squad for the season-opener contains three international superstars who shone in the recent T20 World Cup 2022 that was played in Australia.
They include England’s Alex Hales, who was among the tournament’s leading run scorers, South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw, who scored a World Cup century, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, Afghanistan’s fearsome bowler. They’ll be complemented by some of the BBL’s most exciting domestic players including skipper Jason Sangha, Chris Green, Ben Cutting, Daniel Sams, and young gun Ollie Davies, who brazenly smashed five consecutive sixes against Melbourne Renegades in what was the second match of his BBL career.
#BBL12 starts tonight!
