Kumar Sangakkara has signed with the Hobart Hurricanes in Big Bash league (BBL). Sangakkara will join West Indies allrounder Darren Sammy as the overseas signings for the Hurricanes next summer after they missed out on reaching the semi-finals last season.
"Kumar's signing is not only huge for the Hobart Hurricanes but for the Big Bash League overall," Hurricanes coach Damien Wright said. "There is no doubt that this is a really exciting signing for BBL.
"Kumar is not only an extremely talented batsman but also a leader which is also fantastic. With both Darren Sammy and Kumar joining our club and also many local favorites our members and fans will be in for a treat."
