Brisbane Heat part ways with Chris Lynn
Brisbane, May 11: Big Bash League (BBL) side Brisbane Heat have shocked its legion of fans and millions of cricket followers in the country by confirming that they would not offer a fresh contract to their iconic batter Chris Lynn, who was with them for more than a decade.
Lynn, who has played 18 T20Is and four ODIs, scored a total of 3,005 BBL runs, with one century to his name. He also played three games for the Heat at the now defunct Champions League T20 tournament in 2013, said a report in cricket.com.au.
Queensland Cricket and Brisbane Heat CEO Terry Svenson said the decision had only been made after all parties had taken a suitable period to reflect on their options following the end of BBL-11 where the Heat finished seventh. (IANS)
