Following several years of hard work and persistence, the 2019/20 season marked Sean Abbott’s return to Australian colours and was capped off with a Big Bash title.

In November 2019, the fast bowler played his first International match in five years. Abbott taking the field in a T20 International against Pakistan at Perth Stadium, taking two wickets and claiming the Man of the Match award.

He was also an integral part of the NSW Blues squad that claimed the Sheffield Shield in 2019/20.

It followed a wonderfully successful 12 months that saw him awarded the 2018/19 Steve Waugh Medal as the best Male Player in NSW.

Despite missing half of BBL|09 due to a tour to India with the Australian One-Day squad and injury, Abbott finished the 2019/20 Big Bash campaign with 14 wickets at the very handy average of 13.5.

Arguably his best performance of the season came in his first match back from a side strain, which just happened to be The Qualifier final against the Melbourne Stars. The speedster picked up 3-23 from four overs.

After winning his first BBL title with the Sixers, Abbott enters BBL|10 one shy of 100 Big Bash wickets, averaging just 21.21 across nine seasons that started with the Sydney Thunder in 2011 before his move to the Sixers for BBL|03.

Abbott is also a powerful lower order batsman striking at better than a run a ball.

We look forward to another season of sustained success for this tremendously talented paceman in BBL|10!
