Former England captain Ben Stokes will be available for the Adelaide Strikers' entire campaign in a massive boost for the Big Bash League.
After his bombshell retirement from international cricket in June, Stokes has wasted no time in entertaining offers from T20 leagues.
Also weighing up offers from the Sydney Sixers and the in-transition Melbourne Renegades, the matchwinning allrounder settled on the Strikers and is sure to help bring in big crowds to the Adelaide Oval.
