Marcus Stoinis Extends Contract With Melbourne Stars
South African T20 League: Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has extended his contract with the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League (BBL). The three-year extension secures his place with the Stars until the culmination of BBL16 in 2026-27, reinforcing his bond with the franchise.
The decision to stay with the Melbourne Stars wasn't without its share of suspense, as several clubs expressed interest in acquiring the services of the versatile player. The Perth Scorchers, Stoinis' initial BBL team where he played three games in the 2012-13 season, were among those keen on bringing him back to Western Australia. However, Stoinis, having donned the green of the Stars since the following season, chose to continue his journey with the Melbourne-based franchise.
His commitment to the Stars extends beyond the boundary ropes, as Stoinis inches closer to a milestone that only a select few achieve — 100 games for the same BBL team. Glenn Maxwell, a former captain of the Stars, accomplished this feat last season.
