Big-hitting West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite has signed up with Sydney Sixers for the upcoming edition of the Big Bash League (BBL). Brathwaite's signing comes less than a week after Australia speedster Mitchell Starc confirmed he would also pull on the magenta again this summer.

The 32-year-old all-rounder will arrive in Australia before the start of the tournament and will join Tom Curran and James Vince as the Sixers' three international players to now have signed with the defending champions for this season.
