It’s Always A Privilege Playing At The MCG: Siddle On His BBL Contract With Stars

General Manager Blair Crouch: Former Australia pacer Pater Siddle has signed a one-year contract with Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Melbourne Stars on Tuesday.

Despite being one of the original signings for the club in 2011, Siddle never played a BBL game for the Stars due to international commitments and has gone on to play 83 BBL games with the Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades over the last nine seasons.

Siddle enjoyed six successful seasons with the Adelaide Strikers, establishing himself as a formidable T20 bowler. He played a key role in their maiden BBL title during the 2017-18 season, delivering a match-winning spell in the final against the Hobart Hurricanes, taking 3 for 17. Following his tenure with Adelaide, Siddle rejoined the Melbourne Renegades last summer on a one-year deal.
