Thunder gm copeland

Thunder GM Copeland: Trent Copeland, the former Australia pacer currently serving as Sydney Thunder general manager, hailed Ravichandran Ashwin’s arrival in the Big Bash League by calling him as the biggest signing in the history of the BBL.

Ashwin, the former India off-spinner with 765 wickets across all three international formats, is set to join the Thunder for the upcoming BBL season. He will join the Thunder after playing in UAE’s ILT20, which ends on January 5, 2026.

“It’s the biggest signing in the history of the BBL. It’s a really clear message to our fans and members and sponsors … that we are winning these moments. All eight clubs wanted this guy. Ashwin has chosen us, which is a really cool story,” Copeland told reporters on Friday.
