The Big Bash League (BBL) season 12 draft took place on Sunday with the franchises picking up players from different salary bands. 12 platinum ($340,000) players could be selected in the first round, platinum and gold ($260,000) in Rd 2, gold and silver ($175,000) in Rd 3 and silver and bronze ($100,000) in Rd 4.
Chris Jordan, James Vince and 18-year-old Afghan tweaker Izharulhaq Naveed will all join the Sydney Sixers for KFC BBL|12 after they were selected by the club in the league’s inaugural Overseas Player Draft, the franchise said in a media release. Picking fourth in the first two rounds, head coach Greg Shipperd, skipper Moises Henriques and the rest of the Sixers’ draft room team selected Jordan with their first pick and then Vince in the second round.
The selection of Vince came after the Sixers originally selected Laurie Evans in the second round as a tactical way to force the Scorchers to use their retention pick on Evans, the release added. Both Jordan and Vince turned out for the Sixers last summer, with Vince having won two titles at the club, including playing a match winning hand in the BBL|10 final. The pair are expected to be available for ten matches this season.
