League legend calls time on Big Bash career for England move
BBL's second-highest wicket taker will end his time in the league at the end of the season
Big Bash icon Andrew Tye is set to bid adieu to the league after announcing the ongoing season will be his last in the competition.
The 39-year-old quick will instead ply his trade as a local player in England's T20 Blast after signing a two-year deal with Yorkshire.
Tye, who switched allegiance to the Melbourne Renegades ahead of BBL|15 after 10 years with the Perth Scorchers, is second among the all-time leading wicket takers in the BBL, only behind Sean Abbott.
But playing opportunities have been scarce for the veteran since his move east – which itself came as the Scorchers turned an eye to the future in the pace-bowling department – with only two games in the red so far this season, making the Yorkshire offer hard to decline.

Australian pacer Andrew Tye signs two-year Vitality Blast deal with Yorkshire
Australian fast bowler Andrew Tye has signed a two-year Vitality Blast contract, bringing experience and firepower to the Yorkshire bowling unit. He is known for his lethal knuckleball, and has established himself as one of the world’s most damaging T20 bowlers, particularly at the death.
The right-arm pacer has taken 47 wickets in 32 T20Is and claimed 86 wickets across six previous Vitality Blast seasons. He currently ranks second on the all-time leading wicket-takers list in the Big Bash League (BBL).
“It’s a real privilege to be signing for Yorkshire. There is a proud tradition of Australian cricketers at Yorkshire and I’m excited to add to this and get amongst it with the guys. I know I can add some real depth of experience to the side. The Blast is a great tournament to be involved in, and I know how important it is to a side like Yorkshire to be in the mix to win it,” said Tye as quoted by Yorkshire.
