West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has joined forces with the injury-hit Melbourne Stars side for five matches, and is set to play his first match of this year’s Big Bash League against Sydney Thunder at the MCG on Friday, December 10. The big-hitting all-rounder is presently completing his 72 hours quarantine period after flying into Sydney. Haris Rauf, the Pakistan fast bowler, has also been added to the squad. The pacer is capable of clocking speeds north of 145kph and took an astonishing 20 wickets from 10 matches during the 2019-20 campaign, including a hat-trick.
