This BBL news might come as a shock to some cricket fans. Australian spin master Nathan Lyon has abruptly announced the end of his spectacular ten-year tenure with the Sydney Sixers. The off-spinner, a crucial member of the Sixers’ Big Bash League (BBL) team, participated in 34 games over the course of ten seasons. The Sixers’ success in the BBL 9 and BBL 10 was greatly aided by Lyon’s contribution.

However, the seasoned spinner is about to begin a new chapter after formally signing a three-year contract with the Melbourne Renegades ahead of the eagerly awaited BBL 2023–24 season. The transaction represents a significant shift in the BBL transfer market and has already aroused interest among both fans and industry insiders.

Lyon is eager to collaborate with Adam Zampa. Lyon showed his outstanding talent and bowling prowess throughout his time with the Sydney Sixers, taking an impressive total of 42 wickets. With this accomplishment, he moves up to fifth place among BBL franchise players in terms of wickets taken.

Lyon spoke with delight about his choice to sign with the Melbourne Renegades, underlining the allure of the renowned Marvel Stadium, where he enjoys bowling because to its spin-friendly characteristics. The 35-year-old veteran is also intrigued about the possibility of teaming up with fellow spinner Adam Zampa to build a powerful tandem.

The cricket star commented that he is overjoyed to be a member of the Melbourne Renegades. He likes to bowl there because it has a tendency to spin a little bit. He is excited to perhaps team up with “Zamps” in a really strong relationship and perform for the Renegades supporters.

Lyon underlined the Melbourne Renegades team’s culture of togetherness further, emphasizing the presence of close friends and a talented group of senior and younger players. This unity likely played a role in Lyon’s choice to transfer to the Renegades team, where he hopes to have a big impact in the upcoming seasons.
