Out of favour, Australian Test opener Marcus Harris has re-signed with Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Melbourne Renegades for the 2022-23 edition. Both parties have penned a one-year deal, keeping the batter till the end of BBL 12.

​So far, in 48 BBL appearances for the Renegades since BBL 05, Harris has scored 970 runs with four half-centuries. Apart from being a solid top-order batsman, the left-hander is an asset on the ground as well as a fielder.

Captained by Nic Maddinson, the Renegades take on the Brisbane Heat on December 15 in their BBL 12 opening match.
