Experienced fast bowler Gurinder Sandhu has re-joined the Melbourne Renegades' ranks ahead of the BBL|15.
Sandhu locks in for another season
Sandhu crossed to the Renegades last season and was a valuable addition to the squad, taking three wickets in his two appearances including a wicket with his first ball in red at the MCG.
The 32-year-old right-armer exudes experience and composure, having played more than 78 T20 games across his career including a stint with the Dehli Capitals in the Indian Premier League.
He's also represented Australia in the white ball format.
He's got 77 wickets to his name, at an average of 26 and an economy of 8.10, and is renowned for his skill with the ball in high-pressure overs.
Sandhu’s presence adds to a Renegades’ pace attack boasting the two leading wicket-takers in BBL|14 in Jason Behrendorff and Tom Rogers as well as skipper Will Sutherland and new recruit Ben Doggett.
“The Renegades have been a great environment to be part of, I’ve really enjoyed my time here and I’m excited to build on what we started last season," Sandhu said.
"We’ve got a good mix of youth and experienced players, and I’m looking forward to contributing wherever I can.”
Renegades General Manager James Rosengarten said Sandhu’s experience and professionalism continue to make him an asset to the squad.
“Gurinder’s been a reliable performer for a long time in Australian cricket,” Rosengarten said.
“He brings great energy to our group, plays a big role for us, and helps set standards for the whole bowling group coming through.”
The Renegades' BBL|15 squad is taking shape with only one more spot left to fill on the list.
