James Vince returns to the Big Bash after agreeing deal with Sydney Sixers

Vince will look to build on a trophy-laden season, which has also featured victories in the Pakistan Super League with Multan Sultans and The Hundred with Southern Brave

James Vince will turn out for Sydney Sixers in BBL11 after re-signing for the club.

Vince, a part of the Sixers' title-winning team last season, was sought after by several teams in the Big Bash but opted for a return to Sydney.

He will look to build on a trophy-laden season, which has also featured victories in the Pakistan Super League with Multan Sultans and The Hundred with Southern Brave.

“I don’t play for the personal accolades or awards, I play to be part of a winning team,” Vince said.

“What the Sixers have built on and off the field over the last few years is something really special and something I am proud to be part of. They are just a great bunch of lads and it’s everyone – players, coaches, support staff, the supporters.

“Shippy [head coach Greg Shipperd] creates an environment that we can all thrive in and we are all motivated to do our job for the team and our members and fans.

“To experience that final last season at the SCG, in what was our first trip back there all year, was something I’ll never forget.” 

Vince joins Carlos Brathwaite and Tom Curran on the Sixers' overseas books, with one spot still to fill.

Sydney Sixers begin their campaign against Melbourne Stars at the SCG on December 5.
