The powerful Australian top order batsman is the first confirmed piece of the overseas jigsaw for 2021. His presence in the Blast and the Royal London Cup will give a huge boost to an already powerful top order.
At 25 he has already played two T20 internationals for his country and has a highest score of 114 from just 58 balls. His explosive power seems perfect for opening the innings, though he could equally be used for late innings rope-clearing impetus.
His ability to keep wicket will also enable us to play an extra batsman or bowler and already our batting line up for the one-day game looks powerful.
It also gives Derbyshire supporters an extra incentive to follow the Big Bash in Australia, even if that competition has more gimmicks than is good for the game this year.
Here's hoping that Ben's stint in county colours, sadly delayed from this year, will be a long and successful one.
Welcome to Derbyshire, Ben!
