Ashwin Signs Deal With Sydney Thunder; Becomes First Indian Male Player To Join BBL
The 39-year-old off-spinner became the first Indian national men's cricketer to feature in the BBL. While Indian women's players have long played in domestic leagues around the world, including the WBBL, the BCCI have restricted India's international and domestic contracted male cricketers from playing in T20 competitions abroad. Only retired Indian men's players are allowed to play in overseas T20 leagues.
"Thunder were crystal clear about how they’d use me and brave enough to back it. My conversations with the leadership were excellent, and we’re fully aligned on my role. I love how Dave Warner plays the game, and it’s always better when your leader shares your mindset. I can’t wait to perform for the Thunder Nation,” Ashwin said in a statement.
