Official: the beast is here”Trevor Bayliss has finally achieved it” in a huge way…..
As part of a pick exchange in the foreign draft, Wes Agar became the first player in the BBL to be traded. Agar left Adelaide Strikers, who had improved their draft position in the second round, to join Sydney Thunder.
After eight seasons with the Strikers, Agar is moving to Thunder. After being a crucial member of their assault in previous seasons, he only appeared in four games last year. Thunder and Strikers exchanged second-round selections in the deal.
In the second round, Thunder will obtain the later pick from the draft lottery, while Strikers will receive Thunder’s early pick (the precise pick number will be revealed later in the year). Because they finished eighth in the previous season, Thunder will receive an earlier draft pick, while Strikers, who finished third, will receive a later pick.
This is the first action taken by former Australia and New South Wales Test bowler Trent Copeland in his new capacity as General Manager of Thunder.
“He’s a proven performer in this format, and one of the Big Bash’s most likeable guys,” added Copeland. “We want to bring in players who will ultimately perform and win games for the club, but it’s also vitally important for us to attract good people who want to be a part of what we are building here.”
