Tremain ready for his new spell with the Hurricanes 

"I’m really looking forward to wearing purple this year. When you’ve got names like Ricky Ponting, Jeff Vaughan, Darren Berry, and James Hopes involved in a team and they ask if you want to be a part of it, it’s a pretty enticing proposition. 

The Hurricanes obviously have a really strong bowling group so I think there’ll be strong competition for spots, but that is only going to make us more competitive both as individuals and as a team unit," said Chris Tremain.

Tremain brings a wealth of experience and promise to a new look Hurricanes pace bowling stocks for this year's Big Bash which struggled throughout BBL 11 due to injury.
