The Melbourne Renegades have signed West Indian spinner Sunil Narine as the club’s second overseas player for BBL|06.

The 28 year-old has won the Indian Premier League title twice with the Kolkata Knightriders and represented the West Indies at every level.

The right-arm off-spinner has nearly 200 domestic T20 matches to his name, taking 241 wickets with an economy rate of 5.68

Currently ranked in the top ten T20 bowlers in the world on the ICC rankings, Narine said he was excited about joining the Renegades this summer.

“This is a great opportunity for me and I’m looking forward to moving down to Melbourne for the BBL season,” Narine said.

“The BBL is growing bigger and bigger every year and attracts attention from around the world. The Renegades fans have a reputation for being loyal and loud and I’m ready to see what I can do at Etihad Stadium,” he said.

“With my fellow countryman Dwayne Bravo, captain Aaron Finch and the rest of the guys, I’m hoping for a successful tournament,” Narine added.

Melbourne Renegades Head Coach Andrew McDonald said Narine was a valuable addition to the team.

“I’m really pleased we’ve been able to get Sunil on board with us this season. He has a lot of experience and has won the world’s toughest T20 tournament twice – those insights will be a huge benefit to the team in this campaign,” McDonald said.

“He’s a proven wicket-taker and someone we know has the ability to stall momentum in our opposition. I’m looking forward to seeing him in action,” he added.

Narine will be available for the full season and the signing completes the club's roster for BBL|06.
