Hard-hitting West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels has signed up a deal to play the second Australia’s T20 Big Bash League season for Melbourne Renegades. Samuels will join Sri Lankan spin winzard Muttiah Muralitharan as the second international on the Renegades’ list for BBL. Fresh from a man-of-the-match performance in ICC World Twenty20 final, Samuels arrives at Renegades with a red hot formline in the shortest version of the game. Samuels’ match-winning knock in the final against Sri Lanka included six sixes, three of which came from a single Lasith Malinga over. Samuels finished third in the tournament’s run-scoring tally with 230 runs at a strike rate of 132.94.
