Sri Lanka star batsman Kumar Sangakkara has signed with the Hobart Hurricanes for the 2015/16 Big Bash League (BBL) season. Sangakkara will be the Hurricanes’ second overseas player besides West Indies allrounder Darren Sammy. The Hurricanes missed out on reaching the semi-finals last season. Sangakkara retired from One-Day Internationals after the ICC World Cup 2015 held in Australia and England. The southpaw batsman who has played 130 Tests, 404 ODIs and 56 T20 internationals for Sri Lanka stated that he was excited to be joining the Hurricanes on a two-year deal. “The Big Bash League is a fun, exciting and family friendly league with a very high quality of cricket,” Sangakkara said. “There are so many great players involved and I am really looking forward to the challenge.” “I have always loved Hobart when visiting with the Sri Lankan team, the people are friendly, the scenery is beautiful and I am looking forward to spending more time there and getting to see more of it.”
