The left arm fast bowler has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the Stars.
The Melbourne Stars have secured the signature of fast bowler Joel Paris for the next two seasons.
Paris joins the Stars from the Hurricanes and previously the Scorchers where he earned selection in Australia’s One Day International team.
The left arm quick is known for his ability to swing the ball and will be a valuable addition to the Stars lineup.
“We identified a need for more left armers who could swing the ball in our team so to secure someone of Joel’s experience is fantastic for the squad,” said General Manager Blair Crouch.
“He has been part of a very successful system in Perth for a number of years and knows what success looks like and we hope he can emulate that during his time as part of the Stars.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Joel and his family this summer.”
Paris said he’s looking forward to BBL|13 with the Stars.
“I can’t wait to get to Melbourne this summer and run out at the MCG in front of some of the best fans in the BBL.
“There’s obviously a few boys from WA who I know already and I’m looking forward to meeting the rest of the squad in December.”
