Vettori to play twentyt20 for Queensland
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori will join Queensland as a guest player in the Twenty20 Big Bash tournament beginning next week.
Left-arm spinner Vettori has agreed to a two-match stint with the Bulls as their overseas player and will make his Queensland debut in the January 13 clash with NSW at ANZ Stadium.
He is also available for the preliminary final should Queensland finish second or third and could play in the 12.5 million dollar Champions League tournament in India should the Bulls qualify by finishing in the top two of the Big Bash.
"We all know his bowling is world class, but every bit of feedback we have received about him highlights that he is a fine leader of men who has a fantastic cricket brain and a calm and professional on-field presence," Queensland coach Trevor Barsby said.
"It might only be a short stint but we are confident there will be long-term benefits from him being a part of our squad during the Big Bash."
"It''s also a nice boost for Chris Simpson, who is developing into a fine captain.
"I''m sure he will enjoy the experience of having Dan around and soak up some of his knowledge."
