Ferguson Signs With Strikers in Big Bash

Fringe Australian batsman Callum Ferguson has signed up to represent Adelaide Strikers in the KFC T20 Big Bash League.
Ferguson, currently enjoying a purple patch with Australia A in Zimbabwe, reportedly turned down lucrative offers from other franchises to link up with his home side as they look to repeat as national T20 champions.
The 26-year-old was dropped from Australia's ODI squad for next month's tour of Sri Lanka but has been busy pressing his case with Australia A, scoring 52 and 57 not out against Zimbabwe in a tri-series with South Africa A.
Speaking from Zimbabwe, Ferguson said he was looking forward to pulling on the blue Strikers shirt and wielding the willow for Adelaide.
