Mitch Starc says he actually could play for the Sydney Sixers in BBL|15, rather than simply being a token supplementary squad signing.
The Sixers confirmed Starc’s signing earlier this week but in past seasons he’s not played any games despite being selected.
This summer, however, Starc could play BBL for the first time since season one, with the Ashes Tests due to end on January 8.
“I’ve got no cricket scheduled between the fifth Test and the IPL at this stage,” Starc said.
“An opportunity to play some BBL cricket, I’ve obviously been a part of the small part of the Sixers throughout the 15 seasons, so it’s nice to return to potentially a playing role.
“Obviously, we’ve got the five Test matches to focus on, first and foremost. But post that, it’s obviously my intention to be available to play some part if called upon.”
