Carlos Brathwaite attracting interest from BBL teams - dillinger10 - 05-06-2016
Brathwaite's continued growth and good form with bat and ball has gained the attention of the Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes.
Quote:The Hurricanes are keen to snare Brathwaite as a bowling all-rounder replacement for fellow West Indian Darren Sammy. "We made contact with him (Brathwaite) before the World Cup," Michael Roberts, Hurricanes recruitment officer, told The Daily Telegraph on Friday (May 6). "There's a fair bit of interest in him now not just in Big Bash but world cricket. The ball is in his court now. We're waiting for him to come back with further discussions."
"You need these internationals to come in and really embrace what Big Bash is about without the ego ... from what I've heard about Carlos, he's the perfect Big Bash model player," Roberts added.
Having never played in the BBL, Brathwaite has publicly declared his desire to play in Australia's burgeoning Twenty20 competition. "That's also a dream," Brathwaite told The Daily Telegraph in the aftermath of the World T20. "I'm available. Whatever opportunities arise, I'm available."
