Olly Stone has been added to Melbourne Stars' squad ahead of the start of their BBL campaign, reuniting him with his county Head Coach Peter Moores.

The Outlaws paceman replaces Haris Rauf in the Stars' roster for their tournament opener, with the Pakistan international unavailable for selection.

Stone, capped by England in all three international formats, is set for his maiden stint in Australia's T20 competition, having featured in South Africa's SA20 last winter.

He joins Moores, Joe Clarke and Alex Hales in the 13th edition of the BBL, which begins on Thursday 7 December.
