However, Starc’s availability for the BBL 2020-2021 will be determined on Australian selection in the Test squad for the four-match Test series against India, with the selected players to be available for the last three games of the regular season and the finals series.

It’s great to be back in magenta after five seasons away from the Big Bash,” Starc said.

“I started at the Sixers at BBL01 and it’s nice to continue that journey at a club . I’ve still been around with my wife Alyssa (Healy) involved with the Sixers,” he added.

Sixers head coach Greg Shipperd said Starc’s return was a homecoming of sorts.

“As with last season when we were blessed with the presence of Steve Smith and Josh Hazelwood. Who both made a huge contribution to our winning effort. We hope Mitch gets to express himself in his home colours again,” Shipperd said.

“He is a maximum impact player who is a world-class T20 fast bowler as well as being in the upper echelons across the other formats,” he added.
