England's Lewis Gregory signs up for Brisbane Heat

BRISBANE: Brisbane Heat on Monday announced the signing of England all-rounder Lewis Gregory for the upcoming edition of the Big Bash League (BBL).

Gregory made his debut for England against New Zealand last year and has played in eight T20Is since then.

The 28-year-old captains Somerset in the T20 Blast competition, where Heat batsman Tom Banton is a teammate. This will be Gregory's first stint in the BBL while he has previously played in the Bangladesh Premier League and Pakistan Super League.

"We certainly kept a close eye on Tom's performances for the Heat last season and so I'm rapt to have the chance to experience a world-class tournament like the BBL at first hand," Gregory, a right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium pace bowler, said. IANS
