India series was their priority , they have announced the squads 6 weeks in advance , the new fixture will be next 😀

I wish they hadn't opened BBL SC , just a big tease with so many unknowns.
I am glad it’s open ... at least we know prices and can start playing around whilst ignoring the fixture for now ... good time for the two players per team side 😀

I couldn't find too many gifts with the release of prices (apart from the obvious ones).

Was really hoping they included the Australia captain but that would have made it too simple.

Can see me having a lot of fun with E and deliberate donuts and trying to link DPP players effectively.

I definitely think this is the season for you to perfect your 2 player per team model.

Based on my research , these are the confirmed series that may (or may not) impact on the BBL for the remainder of 2020

* South Africa v England (Nov 27 - Dec 9)

* New Zealand v West Indies (Nov 27 - Dec 15)

* Australia v India (Nov 27 - Jan 19)

* New Zealand v Pakistan (Dec 18 - 7 Jan)

* South Africa v Sri Lanka (Dec 26 - Jan 7)

The Melbourne Renegades have made two overseas signings, securing veteran spinner Imran Tahir and promising Afghan teenager Noor Ahmad in a significant boost to the club’s playing stocks ahead of KFC BBL|10.

South African leg-spinner Tahir brings more than 300 T20 matches of experience to the Renegades and will be available for matches after Christmas.

His absence in pre-Christmas fixtures will be filled by Noor Ahmad - a left arm wrist spinner who has earned high praise around the globe.

With the signing of Mohammad Nabi confirmed this week and the Noor/Tahir combination also secured, the Renegades have one international spot remaining on the roster following Cricket Australia’s announcement which permits each club to sign a third international player.

For the first time, all three international signings will be able to take the field in a starting XI this season.

“Imran Tahir has excelled in the T20 format right across the world and he’ll provide another genuine wicket-taking threat,” Renegades Coach Michael Klinger said.

“We’ve been tracking Noor Ahmad closely for more than a year now and although he’s in the early stages of his career, he’s an exciting prospect and he has a few tricks that’ll make life difficult for batsmen.”

Tahir is playing with the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League and was the competition’s leading wicket taker last year.

“I’ve watched the Big Bash from afar have admired how competitive it is,” Tahir said.

“I’m looking forward to joining my new Renegades teammates and working hard with them to produce a successful season.”

Noor earned a contract in the Caribbean Premier League earlier this year and won a T20 trophy under Mohammad Nabi’s captaincy in 2019.

“The Renegades fans and followers of the Big Bash may not know much about Noor at this stage but I can tell you, he is a very exciting talent who I feel has a big future in the game,” Nabi said.

Renegades squad (to date): Noor Ahmad (AFG), Cameron Boyce, Zak Evans, Aaron Finch (c), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Sam Harper, Marcus Harris, Mackenzie Harvey, Jon Holland, Shaun Marsh, Mohammad Nabi (AFG), James Pattinson, Kane Richardson, Will Sutherland, Imran Tahir (RSA), Beau Webster.

These would be good on a dedicated thread... I can see you'll be asked a million times about them 😀

Should be a lock for a bench spot if priced as expected and considering the success of bowlers from/near the region in the BBL.

Day 1 since BBL coming back

The fateful update that unlocked the piece of me that has been yearning for release has finally come! No longer do I have to filter my way through hundreds of players each week to settle on a team that almost solely pinned it's hopes of success on a bearded man.

Knowing what was awaiting me upon alighting home, I was unable to contain my excitement upon opening the BBL site for perusal. My usual duties in the household were put aside, my work for the next day ignored. How I was going to fit my preferred team into my starting squad was the top priority!

Lynn was selected quite early in the piece, but alas, his team is not featuring in the first round (at this point of time). The same went for Master Banton. Maxwell and Stoinis were slotted in, along with the mighty Short, but the former two have been snatched away by the clutches of the green and gold. A sad day for my squad when I do not have a Stars player on my field. A Star does lurk on my bench however, sating my desire.

I will continue to toil away into the night to feed my addiction, scouring the dark web for any mention of Will Jacks' signing or perhaps news of a practise match that may give me the edge I so desperately crave.

Yep

Information has been provided , now people just have to actually look for it or write it down on a piece of paper.

Noor Ahmad apparently was born January 5 , 2005

Think he was going to play CPL but then had to withdraw.

Massive ask for a 15 year old to play and perform in a foreign country , thankfully Nabi is there.

Interesting to see how many games he plays before Tahir arrives and if he can make significant $$$.

He is only 15 so might be a bit early to compare him to Rashid , Mujeeb & Qais etc

Certainly a exciting signing though.
