Premier All-Stars squad named to take on the BBL鈥檚 best

The squad includes four Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers, led by reigning Ryder and Scholes Medallist Ian Holland.

The side features seven new faces with Ben Fletcher, Tom Stray, Nathan McNally, Ryan Ninan, Ben Ashkenazi, David King and Andrew Perrin representing the All-Stars for the first time.

This will be the third year that the All-Stars have played the Renegades and Stars prior to the BBL season.

The matches have helped expose Premier Cricket’s best players to BBL sides with James Muirhead the perfect example where performances in the All-Stars games in 2013 landed him a contract with the Melbourne Stars and two months later he made his international debut for Australia.

The Premier All-Stars’ first game will be against the Melbourne Stars at their family day at Casey Fields on December 13, before taking on the Renegades in a twilight match at the Junction Oval on December 15.
