Fair to say, Neesham is a busy cricketer. He hardly got two days off for marriage as he played T20 World Cup, white-ball series against India, and now going to play T20 leagues around the globe. The southpaw is excited to be part of BBL for the first time and is looking forward to the crowd support in Tasmania.
“I’m really excited to be involved with the Big Bash for the first time this year,” Neesham said as his Hobart deal was announced.
“I’ve heard great things about the Hurricanes setup, and the list this year looks incredibly strong, so to be able to play even a small part in what I hope will be a successful tournament for the franchise is a really great opportunity for me.

“A lot of people say Tasmania is a bit like a mini New Zealand, so I’m looking forward to getting over there, meeting the guys, and playing the role that is asked of me for the team.”
After BBL, Neesham is likely to play IPL 2023 as well. The all-rounder has set himself a base price of 2 crores in the upcoming IPL mini auction set to be held on December 23 in Kochi.
