After signing with Thunder, McKay said that it would be a great opportunity for him to work with former team mates like Shane Watson and Michael Hussey.
Clint McKay said, “I’m very excited, I can’t wait to join the likes of Shane Watson and Michael Hussey. I played with them in International cricket and it’s great to be back playing with them again.”
Sydney Thunder have already got some of the best bowlers including Shane Watson, Jacques Kallis, Gurinder Sandhu, Pat Cummins and more. With the addition of McKay will surely help Thunders in the competition as they never won BBL championship.
