After one season away, seamer Jackson Bird returns to the Sydney Sixers for BBL|09.
During the opening rounds of the 2019/20 Sheffield Shield season, Bird went past fellow seamer Ben Hilfenhaus as the leading wicket taker for Tasmania in Shield cricket.
The seamer has played nine Tests for Australia and is the leading wicket taker in the Marsh Sheffield Shield heading into the Big Bash with 24 wickets, from five matches, at an average of 22.5.
Bird missed round two due to birth of his first child, Maxwell.
He has replicated that form in the Marsh One-Day Cup, taking a match-winning 6-25 from 10 overs against the NSW Blues.
Bird played nine matches last season for the Melbourne Stars, the club where he started his BBL career. This Big Bash campaign will be his fourth in magenta.
The Sixers are wrapped to have him back in magenta this summer!
