BBL 14: Ollie Pope Signs Up With Adelaide Strikers; Akeal Hosein Roped In By Sydney Sixers
Big Bash League: England's stand-in Test skipper Ollie Pope has signed with Adelaide Strikers, while West Indies left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein has been roped in by Sydney Sixers ahead of Big Bash League’s Season 14. The dual signings mean all teams have completed their Pre-draft overseas player signings ahead of the BBL draft on September 1.
Pope, who is now 82nd England men’s Test captain through the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka due to Ben Stokes being ruled out by a hamstring injury, will be available for Strikers after the Test tour of New Zealand which finishes on December 18. It means he will miss at least the club’s first match of the new BBL season.
Pope averages 33.25 across 50 matches for Surrey in T20s, but couldn’t leave a mark in The Hundred, as he made just 35 runs in his five matches for London Spirit.
