Maddinson to miss clash against Strikers

Head Coach David Saker commended Maddinson’s honesty and understanding throughout the decision process.

“Evidently his form hasn’t been up to a standard we expect and unfortunately we’ve had to make the tough call,” Saker said

“To his credit, Maddo was the first to put his hand up and has been first class in the way he’s presented himself.

“He’s missed a lot of cricket due his knee injury and while his preparation to date has been sound, it’s extremely tough to come back after such a long lay-off and launch into a Big Bash season.

“He’s a terrific leader for our club and will continue to press for re-selection and play a crucial role for us as we aim to turn our season around.”

Maddinson’s replacement and the Renegades’ Final XI will be announced at bat flip.
