The Melbourne Stars have pulled off the recruitment coup of the Big Bash by luring West Indian T20 great Dwayne Bravo from city rivals the Renegades.

Bravo is available for the entire season after recently retiring from international cricket.

“It’s almost Big Bash time again and I’m very excited to be representing the Melbourne Stars. I’ve worked with Stephen Fleming before, he’s a great coach and I’m sure we can do great things together at the Stars,” said Bravo.

Bravo holds the record for most wickets in T20 cricket. He also took the equal most wickets in last year’s Big Bash with 18.

Fleming said: “I’ve worked with Dwayne for a number of years in the IPL and have always thought he’d be a great addition to the Stars dressing room.

“He’s obviously got his flamboyant side, which is great entertainment for the crowd and can really lift the energy on-field, but it’s his attacking style with both the bat and ball that can turn a game.

Dwayne Bravo can go big with both bat and ball.

“Dwayne can be lethal with the ball, plus come in at five or six in the batting order and add some real star power.

“I think he’s been consistently good in the Big Bash over the years, and last year he was one of the best performers in BBL with the ball taking 18 wickets with best figures of 5-28.”
