Sydney Sixers secure Ollie Davies ahead of upcoming BBL season
The Sydney Sixers have strengthened their squad ahead of the upcoming Big Bash League season by securing the services of Ollie Davies on a long-term deal. The talented batter has inked a three-year deal with the franchise. Davies is widely regarded as one of the most exciting players in Australia’s domestic circuit, having built a reputation as a fearless middle-order batter.
"I'm so excited to sign with the Sydney Sixers for the next three years. It's a childhood dream to play professional cricket alongside my little brother Joel. We're both stoked to pull on the magenta together and run out at the SCG," Davies said in a Sixers' release.
"I hope I can make meaningful contributions as we fight to bring home a championship for our fans."
Davies first announced himself on the Big Bash League stage during BBL|10 with the Sydney Thunder. Since then, he has developed into a consistent performer. Across 49 BBL appearances, he has scored more than 830 runs at an impressive strike rate of 129.61. At Sydney Sixers, Ollie Davies will join his brother Joel Davies in the upcoming season of BBL.
“We’re delighted to welcome Ollie to the Sydney Sixers. He’s a powerful and exciting batter with a strong record in domestic cricket. His competitiveness, experience and ability to score at all stages of the innings will be invaluable to our squad. It’s incredibly special to now have both Davies brothers pulling on the magenta side-by-side," Sydney Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes said.
“They’ve driven each other throughout their careers, and we know they’ll bring enormous energy and passion to our club — both on and off the field.”
