Aussie quick puts pen to paper for three-year deal
Melbourne Renegades have secured paceman James Pattinson for three more KFC Big Bash League seasons.
Pattinson, who has just finished touring India with the Australia A squad, will return as the leader of the Renegades attack after winning the team’s Player of the Season award last summer.
The 25-year-old fast bowler missed selection in the Australia Test squads for the Caribbean and British Isles due to injury but played four matches for Australia A in India, collecting four wickets, and was subsequently named in Australia’s limited-overs squads to take on Ireland and England at the end of the month.
