Ahead of the BBL Overseas Player draft on Sunday, the Melbourne Stars have secured the signing of Brisbane Heat fast bowler Mark Steketee.
Stars sign Heat quick ahead of BBL Draft
A constant for the Brisbane Heat since BBL|03, Steketee has played 69 games and taken 88 wickets in that time, having been on the fringe of Australian selection.
"We identified Mark as a target to further strengthen our fast-bowling stocks and we can't wait to see what he can do at the MCG," said Melbourne Stars General Manager, Blair Crouch.
"He has been a consistent wicket taker in the BBL over a number of years now and he'll bring a lot of valuable experience and cricket IQ to the group."
Steketee joins fellow Queenslander Joe Burns as a member of the Stars BBL|13 squad.
"I'd like to thank the Heat for the last 10 years, but I can't wait to head to Melbourne this summer and link up with the Stars," said Steketee.
"I already know a number of the guys in the squad and to be able to play at the MCG in BBL|13 will be a huge thrill."
Current BBL|13 Squad: Scott Boland, Joe Burns, Brody Couch, Hilton Cartwright, Sam Harper, Nick Larkin, Glenn Maxwell, Joel Paris, Mark Steketee, Marcus Stoinis, Beau Webster
