George Garton to join Adelaide Strikers: George Garton will join the Adelaide Strikers in the upcoming Big Bash League season. The 24-year-old bagged ten wickets from nine games at The Hundred for the Southern Brave and helped them take the title.
He was subsequently picked by Royal Challengers Bangalore for the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League 2021. “I’m really excited to be a part of the Adelaide Strikers, a club with such a successful history in the Big Bash,” Garton said.
Garton will join former Sussex head coach Jason Gillespie during his tenure with the Strikers.
Gillespie believed that the left arm pacemaker could fill the gap left by Michael Neser.
“George has been on England‘s radar for some time,” Gillespie said. “He bowls left-arm fast and 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. George 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.”
The forwards will play their first game against the Melbourne Stars on December 7 to get their campaign off the ground.
