The Sydney Sixers have added another import with the re-signing of English leg-spinner Jafer Chohan on a one-year deal.
British-Pakistani leg-spinner Chohan is back in Magenta for another Big Bash season, continuing his association with the Sixers after impressing across the last two summer campaigns.
The young Yorkshire spinner first caught the world’s attention after dismissing both Joe Root and Ben Duckett as a net bowler during an England training camp at Loughborough.
Chohan, 24, has fast become a fan-favourite at the SCG for his attacking leg break style, and clear love of playing cricket in Australia.
Chohan said he was stoked to return to the Sydney Sixers again this Summer.
“Australia has given me some incredible opportunities, and playing in front of Sixers fans at the SCG is something I genuinely love,” said Chohan.
“I can’t wait to get back out there with my teammates in December and work with our new Head Coach Matthew Mott.
“After the heartbreak of last year’s final, I’m keen to get back to Sydney and work to bring the cup home to the SCG this Summer.”
Sydney Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes said she was pleased to re-sign Chohan and to unveil the bay.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Jafer back for another season, and equally excited to launch Magenta Mela for our fans,” Haynes said.
