"Death-bowling specialist signs as locally registered player for Vitality Blast"
Death-over maestro AJ Tye has cut ties with the BBL, signing a two-year deal as a locally-registered player with Yorkshire for the Vitality Blast. The 39-year-old Australian, renowned for his knuckleball, bids farewell to a stellar BBL legacy.
From BBL Record-Holder to Yorkshire
Tye snared 162 wickets at 20.81 in 119 BBL matches since 2014, second only to Sean Abbott on the all-time list. His international stint yielded 59 wickets in 39 white-ball games for Australia from 2018-2021. Yorkshire snaps up the specialist to bolster their T20 campaign.
This move echoes journeymen like Jasprit Bumrah mastering yorkers across leagues. English conditions suit Tye's cutters, promising fireworks in the Blast. BBL fans mourn the end of an era, but Yorkshire faithful gear up for death-bowling dominance.
