Gades strike gold with Doggett

Doggett brings a pace and skill to the Renegades' bowling unit ahead of BBL|15.

It's the club's second signing in recent days, Doggett following Jason Behrendorff in joining the Gades in the Big Bash' inaugural Player Movement Window.

"I'm super excited for the opportunity and really looking forward to pulling on red and playing in front of a packed house at Marvel Stadium," Doggett said, who's locked in for at least the next 2 seasons.

"It's a really strong squad the Gades are putting together with plenty of talent, especially that bowling group and it's exciting to be part of it."

The 30-year-old is a towering right-arm fast bowler whose accuracy compliment his natural pace and bounce.

He's played 48 Big Bash matches across eight seasons, collecting 43 wickets at an impressive 8.33 economy rate and best figures of 5/35.

Doggett's skills extend across all formats of the game with the Queenslander part of Australia's test squad in the recent series against India, while he's featured and took wickets alongside now Gades teammates Will Sutherland and Fergus O'Neill in Australia A's four-day match against the English Lions in Sydney.

"Brendan is an exciting addition to our squad, he's a skillful fast bowler with ability to execute under pressure and take important wickets," Melbourne Renegades General Manager James Rosengarten said.

"We believe Brendan will play an important role for us. To pair him up with Tom [Rogers], Jason [Behrendorff], Adam [Zampa] and Will [Sutherland], we believe we have a powerful bowling unit that boasts variety and the very highest-end talent"
