Ravichandran Ashwin signs BBL deal, Indian legend to bowl alongside Pakistan spinner for Sydney Thunder, says Report

Former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has reportedly signed for Sydney Thunder in the upcoming edition of the Australian Big Bash League (BBL) in an historic deal that will make the 39-year-old first high-profile Indian to feature in the Australia T20 franchise tournament. Ashwin, who has retired from international cricket and Indian Premier League (IPL), will join Sydney Thunder after the UAE's ILT20.

According to a Fox Sports report, Ashwin has agreed to don the lime green jersey with an official announcement likely to happen later this week. Ashwin will become the fourth international star after England's Sam Billings, New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson and Pakistan Shadab Khan.
