Big Bash League franchise Sydney Sixers have managed to retain the services of their ace all rounder Sean Abbott in the next few season of the league. There were other prominent teams which were in pursuit for Abbott, but after due consideration, he made the choice of staying at the Sydney franchise.

Sixers have been a force to reckon with in the competition as they reached the finals of league thrice in the six leagues of the past. They also managed to win the inaugural edition of the Big Bash league. Abbott has been an integral part of their campaign in the Big Bash League since the 2013-14 edition.

“There were a couple (of suitors), including the old enemy in my old team the Thunder. I thought hard about all of those and really made sure I made the right decision. There were a few sleepless nights but I’m pretty happy to be staying at the Sixers,” claimed Sean Abbott according to Sixers FM podcast held on Monday.

Expecting success in the coming years is Abbott

“I said to (Moises Henriques, the Sixers captain) at the start that I wanted to stay, but I was going to make sure I was making the right decision for my cricket moving forward. I think I’ve done that. We’re going to have a lot of success as a club over the next few years – in both the BBL and WBBL – so that was the main reason for staying,” claimed the former Royal Challenger Bangalore bowler.

“We didn’t put our best cricket forward last year. Yeah, we won some key moments in games but I don’t think we put a whole game together last year. That is promising considering we made the final. Our biggest challenge will be to put more complete games together, not just winning key moments of the game. I think we’ll be a very hard team to beat if we do that,” concluded the New South Welshman.
