Australian Fast bowlers James Pattinson and Peter Siddle have signed Melbourne Renegades for the forthcoming season of the T20 Big Bash League.
"I want to get back into playing short-form cricket,"Siddle said. "To have that opportunity again in four over bursts, having a crack and getting the pace up there. I think it'll be a lot of fun."
Melbourne Renegades have also re-signed the former Sri Lankan legend Muttiah Muralitharan for one year and completed two-year deals with Pakistan-born legspinner Fawad Ahmed and Tasmanian batsman Alex Doolan.
The 34-year-old, Ahmed who has recently got Australian citizenship, clearing the way for a possible call-up to the Test squad for the Ashes.
"I worked really hard with the Renegades last season. It was a good six or seven weeks and they really helped me through BBL 2," Ahmed said. "I [then] got an opportunity with the (Victoria) Bushrangers and it really clicked. For me, I was nervous at one stage but it was a good summer."
Till now, the Renegades have signed 15 of 18 players for the BBL, with the final three places to be filled by December 6.
