Brisbane: Jul 9, 2012
New Zealand cricketer Daniel Vettori will be seen playing for Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash Twenty20 league, after signing a three-year-deal with them.
Vettori played for the Heat in the inaugural season last year. He was one of the overseas players signed by the franchisee.
“I had a really good time last season. They were a great bunch of blokes led by a top coach in Darren Lehmann and his support staff, which made for a very enjoyable environment to play cricket in,” Vettori was quoted as saying by zeenews.india.com.
The all-rounder played only three games for the Heat in the last season and is likely to not play more than three games in the 2012-13 season. Vettori will be available from December 7 to January 19, according to reports.
Vettori is most likely to participate in New Zealand’s tour of South Africa from December 18 to January 25. However, he is unlikely to be participating in the 50-over matches.
