“Adam has done excellently in the BBL and IPL, and has also featured regularly in white-ball cricket for Australia, so we know we are bringing in someone of International quality.”

“We have done our homework and leg-spin makes a real difference in T20 cricket around the world, but you don’t want to just bring in any legspinner. Adam is one of the best around at the moment and it is another outstanding signing for the Club.” he added.
