Cricket fans in Sydney are in for a treat as two of Australia’s most iconic batters, David Warner and Steve Smith, have signed lucrative deals with local franchises for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) season.
Smith, fresh from his title-winning campaign with the Washington Freedom in the Major League Cricket, has committed to a three-year deal with the Sydney Sixers. The versatile batsman, who played a crucial role in the Sixers’ finals run last season, is expected to be a key asset for the team once he returns from international duty.
Warner, meanwhile, has signed a two-year contract with the Sydney Thunder. The explosive opener, who recently retired from international cricket, is eager to make a significant impact on the BBL after a brief hiatus from the league.
While Smith’s availability for the early part of the season may be limited due to Australia’s upcoming Test series against India, his presence in the Sixers lineup will undoubtedly boost the team’s chances of success. Warner, on the other hand, is expected to be a consistent performer throughout the tournament.
Both Warner and Smith are highly regarded as some of the best batsmen in the world, and their signings are sure to generate significant excitement and interest among cricket fans in Australia and beyond. As the BBL season approaches, fans can look forward to witnessing these two batting legends showcase their skills on the domestic stage.
