Melbourne Stars have reunited the Overton twins ahead of the BBL with Craig and Jamie set to play together again after the latter moved from Somerset to Surrey in 2020.
“It’s a unique story having twin brothers sign together, and one that we hope our fans are going to love,” Stars general manager James Rosengarten said. “But more importantly, they both bring a really valuable set of skills to the club.
“Jamie and Craig are both genuinely quick bowlers and will no doubt trouble a lot of batters this summer. They’re also big hitters, so we’re ready for some fireworks at the end of the batting innings.
“We think this dual signing is going to set us up really well for success. Combining them both in the line-up with Peter Siddle’s speed will be worth getting to the ‘G to watch.”
