Dwayne Bravo has agreed a deal with Melbourne Stars for the upcoming Big Bash campaign.

The West Indies allrounder will be available for the entire 2018-19 season, completing the Stars' overseas quota for the competition.

"It’s almost Big Bash time again and I’m very excited to be representing the Melbourne Stars. I’ve worked with Stephen Fleming before, he’s a great coach and I’m sure we can do great things together at the Stars," said Bravo.

"The MCG is where it all started for me in Australia and I can’t wait to call it home over summer. I want all the fans to come down and support Team Green on New Year’s Day when we take on my old team in the Melbourne derby."

Stars head coach Stephen Fleming said: "I’ve worked with Dwayne for a number of years in the IPL and have always thought he’d be a great addition to the Stars dressing room.

"He’s obviously got his flamboyant side, which is great entertainment for the crowd and can really lift the energy on-field, but it’s his attacking style with both the bat and ball that can turn a game."
