Stars general manager blair crouch

Stars General Manager Blair Crouch: Marcus Stoinis, the new captain of Melbourne Stars for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) season, expressed his gratitude and excitement over the appointment, highlighting his long-standing connection with the team and his belief in the squad’s potential.

Stoinis replaces Glenn Maxwell, who stepped down from the captaincy of the Stars at the end of last summer.

"I had a little bit of a taste of captaining the side in Maxi's absence last year and loved the opportunity, so to be given the role full-time is a great honor," Stoinis said in a statement form the club. "The Stars have been such a constant in my life every summer for the last 10 years, and I truly believe that the group we have assembled both on and off the field can bring some long-overdue success to the club."
