Sydney Sixers on Tuesday introduced the signing of West Indies Test skipper Jason Holder for a three-game stint for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL). Holder, who’s at the moment in New Zealand making ready to steer the West Indies in a two-match Test sequence, will be a part of the Sixers in Hobart later this month. The 29-year-old celebrity all-rounder will probably be accessible for the Sixers for his or her December 20 conflict with the Adelaide Strikers in Hobart, earlier than transferring to the Gold Coast with the boys in magenta for a December 26 fixture towards the Melbourne Stars and the December 29 matchup with the Melbourne Renegades.
“I’m really excited to be coming to the BBL and in particular the Sydney Sixers. I’ve wanted to for a few years now and this year I have the opportunity to come in and make some appearances and hopefully do a bit for the Sixers,” Holder stated in an official assertion.
Holder stated he had watched the energy of the Big Bash League from a distance prior to now and fondly remembers taking part in with Sixers skipper Moises Henriques for Sunrisers Hyderabad within the IPL in 2014 and 2015.

“BBL cricket is an interest for me and the Sixers have been successful over the past few years. Moises and I played together at SunRisers and I really enjoyed that. It will be good to do it again,” stated Holder.
Meanwhile, the Sixers started their coaching camp in Sydney on Monday, earlier than transferring to Hobart on December 5. The reigning champions will start their title defence towards the Hobart Hurricanes at Blundstone Arena on Thursday, December 10.
