Kumar Sangakkara, who retired from ODIs after the end of the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, has been signed by the Hobart Hurricanes for the next two editions of the Big Bash League.
Sangakkara, who has played for Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL as well as for Jamaica Tallawahs in the Caribbean Premier League, said that he is looking to the challenge.
"The Big Bash League is a fun, exciting and family friendly league with a very high quality of cricket," Sangakkara, who will be playing in his first Big Bash League, stated.
Speaking about Sangakkara's signing, Hobart Hurricanes head coach Damien Wright said, "Kumar's signing is not only huge for the Hobart Hurricanes but for the Big Bash League overall. Kumar is not only an extremely talented batsman but also a leader which is also fantastic."
