After battles with injury, it was great to see Ben Dwarshuis get some regular game time last season playing every match in BBL|08.
The potent left-arm quick claimed 16 wickets at an average of 25.87 including his best BBL figures of 3-7 against the Adelaide Strikers at the SCG.
Dwarshuis, who was selected in the Australian T20 squad in early 2018, is still only 25 and his extra pace from a left-arm angle cannot be understated.
He starts BBL|09 as the Sixers second all-time leading wicket taker in the BBL with 45 wickets at an average of 25.15 behind Sean Abbott who begins the season with 75 scalps.
Dwarshuis is again a member of the NSW Blues squad in 2019/20 and represented a Cricket Australia XI against the touring Pakistan at Bankstown Oval, in late October, taking 2-18 from three overs, opening the attack with fellow Sixers paceman Mickey Edwards.
Dwarshuis plays his Grade cricket with Sutherland, the same club as International superstar, and returning Sixer this season, Steve Smith. Former Australian allrounder Shane Watson is another high-profile member of the club.
We hope more game time and wickets are in store for Dwarshuis in BBL|09!
