The 26-year-old recently played for Cricket Victoria in Guyana and smashed 133 runs on the weekend for St Kilda Cricket Club.
“Blake comes into the squad as an extra option to cover Glenn who we hope will return to the squad soon,” said Melbourne Stars General Manager Blair Crouch.
“Blake’s shown he’s in great form and having had experience at first-class and one day domestic level, we know he can take the step up if required.”
