Nottinghamshire & England paceman Stuart Broad will head to Hobart for this winter's KFC Big Bash League. 

Linking up with Notts Outlaws' T20 captain Dan Christian, Broad will be the second Outlaw to have represented the Hurricanes, following Alex Hales' stint in purple in the winter of 2014.

“It has been really good to have Hurricanes teammate Dan Christian playing with me at Notts who has been really positive about the Hobart Hurricanes and also the city of Hobart which I’m looking forward to embracing," said Broad.

“From a personal point of view the BBL looks like a fantastic competition to be involved in.

"Australia is one of my favourite places to play, the pitches and the crowds make for great cricket and atmosphere is fantastic."
