Adelaide Strikers sign George Garton for Big Bash

24 Sep 2021

Adelaide Strikers have announced the signing of Sussex's Geroge Garton as one of their international players for the forthcoming edition of the Big Bash League in Australia.

The all-rounder will be reunited with former Sussex Head Coach Jason Gillespie at the Strikers, who said this about his latest signing: "George has been on England’s radar for a while now. He bowls left arm fast, he can swing the new ball which is great, he is an aggressive left hand batter who can clear the rope and he would be one of the best fielders in the world at the moment. He is top drawer.

“We identified that in the middle-order, to have a batting and bowling option is something that will be extremely useful to us. We are comfortable that we have a lot of great top-order options, but this is an area that we can strengthen within our squad.

“His partner is from Melbourne and so he has spent some off-seasons playing in Melbourne in Premier Cricket. He will slot right into our team. He has developed a really good rapport with Travis [Head] during their time at Sussex and I know the captain is excited to have him on board. He is such a talented cricketer. We are so excited to welcome him to the Strikers.”

George, who is currently with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and recently signed a contract extension at Sussex, said: “I’m really excited to be a part of the Adelaide Strikers, a club with such a successful history in the Big Bash. It will be great to meet everyone and play with some familiar faces again like Travis, Alex and Rash. Hopefully we can bring the trophy back to Adelaide in BBL|11!”
