BBL 2023: Big hitters Tim David and Ben McDermott have signed deals with the Hobart Hurricanes for the upcoming Big Bash League season. The development is good news for the Hurricanes who were looking ahead to bolster their team.
The addition of David and McDermott will greatly improve the Hurricanes’ lineup because the explosive combo has made a name for themselves in the T20 format.
Tim David immediately became a T20 phenomenon with his blistering batting ability, winning him a place in Australia’s T20I team for the previous year.
David chose to extend his contract with the Hurricanes for an additional two seasons despite his involvement with several foreign teams, notably the Mumbai Indians in the IPL and Major League Cricket in the USA.
Expressing his excitement with the new contract, David stated, “I am very happy to be extending with the Hurricanes for the next couple of seasons. While I am playing a lot of my cricket overseas, I feel at home among my teammates and support staff in the Hurricanes organization, and I am hopeful that I can contribute more to this team in the upcoming season.”
