SYDNEY: West Indian allrounder Dwayne Bravo and English batsman Matt Prior will play for Victoria in Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash series next month, officials said on Friday. Bravo has signed with Victoria for their first five matches of the tournament before returning to his own domestic T20 competition in the Caribbean.
Prior will join the team after the fifth and final Ashes Test in Sydney on January 9, officials said. Bravo played a pivotal role in Victoria’s successful 2009/10 Big Bash campaign, ending the tournament with 77 runs at a strike rate of 157.14 and four wickets. Prior, England’s Test wicket-keeper, believes the T20 Big Bash is one of the best competitions of its type in the world. “When I was made aware of the Bushrangers (Victoria) needing a second overseas player a few weeks ago, I was really keen to join the team and be a part of the Big Bash competition,” Prior said in a statement.
