Jackson Bird signs on for two more years at Sydney Sixers

The Sixers now have 18 players on their squad for the 2021-22 season, completing their line-up

Sydney Sixers have completed their Big Bash roster for the upcoming campaign with the signing of Jackson Bird.

The Australia international seamer has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the club.

Bird was part of the Sixers' setup which won both BBL9 and BBL10.

"[BBL10] was my first title as a professional cricketer, so that was something really special towards the back end of last season after a pretty tough BBL campaign on the road," Bird said.

"I feel like my performances over the last two years have been pretty solid, so I'm pretty stoked that the Sixers want me around for another two years."

The Sixers now have 18 players on their squad for the 2021-22 season, completing their line-up.

Further signings can be made to replace injuries and international absentees.

"To be able to regain the services of Jackson is a huge bonus and it means the Sixers are in a really good shape retaining the majority of their players from last year," Sixers list manager Lisa Sthalekar said.

"He gives us that experience with the new ball up front. He can also bowl in the powerplay.

"The experiences he's had at the next level for Australia, albeit not as much as he would have liked, also really does help players know what to do in difficult situations and I think that's really important."
