Mohammad Rizwan and Nicholas Pooran opt out of the BBL draft

Star cricketers from around the world have pulled out of the BBL (Big Bash League) draft. Nicholas Pooran, the top batter for the West Indies, is one of the few.

It is important to note that Nicholas Pooran was expected to be selected first overall in the BBL draft and was unquestionably going to be one of the most highly sought-after players owing to his form and availability. Nicholas Pooran withdrew from the BBL draft due to reports that the West Indies’ December 2023 match against England might get in the way of him. Mohammad Rizwan, a top wicketkeeper for Pakistan, also withdrew his name from the BBL draft owing to conflicting commitments. The fact that Pakistan will play three Test matches against Australia in the first month of the upcoming BBL season was one of the main factors in Rizwan’s decision to quit.

Peter Siddle, a seasoned Australian pacer, left Adelaide Strikers after a lengthy six-season stay. He rejoins the Melbourne Renegades, where he previously played seven times between 2013 and 2015 and was one of the top players in Australia’s Test lineup.

James Rosengarten, the team’s general manager, came forth following Siddle’s statement that he will be joining the Melbourne Renegades for the 2017 BBL season. According to Rosengarten, Renegades have been attempting to recruit players with more experience.

According to cricketmood, Melbourne Renegades General Manager James Rosengarten said, “We’ve made a concerted effort to add more experience to our playing list this off-season, so to welcome ‘Sidds’ back to the Renegades, along with the additions of Adam Zampa and Nathan Lyon, is a fantastic result.”

“Sidds is well respected not just for his contributions with the ball over a long period of time but also for his leadership, tactical awareness, and broader knowledge of players and the T20 landscape,” the author continued.

It’s important to note that Siddle will bolster Renegades’ already illustrious and skilled team. With the likes of Shaun Marsh (40), Aaron Finch (36), and Jon Wells (35), the team already has experience, and Siddle’s addition will only deepen it.
