Sixers secure Shaw

The Cricket NSW Pathway product made his KFC BBL debut last summer against cross-town rivals Sydney Thunder, after joining the Sixers as a local replacement player. Shaw went on to feature in seven matches, producing arguably the fielding effort of the season against the Adelaide Strikers.  

Born and raised in NSW, the 22-year-old has long been earmarked as one to watch. Representing Australia at the 2022 ICC U19 Men’s World Cup, the right-hander top-scored in the semi-final against India, hitting a half-century from 66 balls. 

After earning a rookie contract with NSW Blues last season, Shaw has since been promoted to a full contract, earning his maiden Australia A call-up for the upcoming tour of India.  

Sixers General Manager Racheal Haynes said Shaw’s signing was a great boost for the club’s long-term depth. 

“Lachy is an exciting young cricketer, and we’re delighted he’s committed to the club for the next two seasons.  

“He’s already had some great moments in magenta, showing the kind of skill and energy that can change a game.  

“Lachy represents the next generation of Sixers, and we’re excited to see him continue to grow and develop in our environment.” 

Shaw said he was eager to build on his debut season with the club. 

“I'm grateful for the opportunity to commit to the Sixers long-term.  

“To make my debut last season was a dream come true, and I enjoyed every chance I had to take to the field.  

I know there's plenty of hard work ahead, but this is a great group to be a part of, and I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can and contributing to some wins in magenta.” 

The Sixers will kick off their KFC BBL|15 season against the Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium on Sunday, December 14.
