“Conversations progressed quickly” – Thunder reveal Ashwin BBL|15 availability

The Sydney Thunder have confirmed Ravi Ashwin will be fully available for BBL|15.

The Indian marquee signing had previously nominated for the ILT20 Auction, with selection meaning he’d miss the start of BBL|15.

However, Ashwin went unselected and has now fully committed to the Thunder for entire BBL|15 campaign.

Sydney Thunder General Manager Trent Copeland said: “Ashwin’s decision to play the full BBL|15 season with Sydney Thunder is another exciting moment for our club, members and fans leading into a huge summer of Big Bash.

“From the outset, we put an offer to Ashwin to bring him to Western Sydney for the entire BBL|15 season.

“Following the initial announcement of his signing, conversations progressed quickly and it was a no brainer from Thunder’s perspective to bring him in for the whole tournament.

“This decision demonstrates Ashwin’s commitment to our club and what we’re trying to build.

We’re delighted to be bringing in an icon of the game – a leader and world class player on-field, and someone who will inspire a new wave of members and fans to join the Thunder Nation.

“We can’t wait to welcome him to Western Sydney in December.”
