Sydney Thunder have landed a big signing, acquiring the services of Trent Boult for the upcoming 2026\/27 Big Bash League (BBL) season. The left-arm pace bowler will be available for the entire campaign, including the finals.<\/p>\n

Boult has previously featured in the BBL but in a limited capacity. He played eight games for the Melbourne Stars in 2022\/23 as part of his T20 exploits right around the world including the SA20, IPL and MLC.<\/p>\n

Really excited to join Sydney Thunder along with Lockie Ferguson \u2013 Trent Boult<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a statement, Boult said he is excited to play alongside fellow Kiwi Lockie Ferguson. Ferguson has been a strong performer for the Thunder in recent years, and the franchise will be looking for a return to the playoffs thanks to their overseas pacers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to be playing in the Big Bash again and joining Lockie (Ferguson) at Thunder,\u201d Boult said, as quoted by cricket.com.au<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way he gets involved is what I\u2019m hoping to mirror and make a mark like he has, not just with the team but the fans as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cCricket has given me so much over the years and I\u2019m still at the stage where I love going out there, contributing, taking wickets and trying to be aggressive in the Powerplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sydney Thunder finished bottom in BBL 2025\/26 after making the final in the previous season. They have relied a lot on their spinners especially at their home ground in Western Sydney. When conditions are flat or suit the pace bowlers, the Thunder have been found wanting.<\/p>\n

It is an issue new coach Andrew Flintoff has identified, and is a key reason why he is excited to have both Boult and Ferguson onboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrent has an amazing reputation for being a great bloke, a team player and a world-class performer,\u201d Flintoff said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things we haven\u2019t been able to do in recent times is take wickets with the new ball, so hopefully these two [Boult and Ferguson] can remedy that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sydney Thunder will begin their BBL 2026\/27 campaign against Adelaide Strikers at Canberra\u2019s Manuka Oval on Wednesday 16 December.<\/p>\n
