Sydney Thunder General Manager Trent: After securing David Warner’s services on a two-year deal, Sydney Thunder has further boosted its batting stocks by signing Australia batter Nic Maddinson on a one-year deal ahead of Season 14 of the Big Bash League (BBL).

Maddinson has played three Tests and six T20Is for Australia and now makes a return to Sydney after spending six years in Melbourne with the Stars and Renegades franchises in the BBL. It comes after the left-handed batter moved back to his home state New South Wales from Victoria in the domestic cricket circuit.

“I was looking forward to coming back to Sydney. The squad that we’ve got is going to be really competitive. It’s a good mix of older players, and having a younger crop of players coming through is really exciting.”
