There is a fantastic vibe that surrounds the T20 Big Bash League and I absolutely love putting on the Hurricanes shirt and playing in front of a packed home crowd,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The World Cup winner&#39;s involvement in the Big Bash could again be limited by his international commitments, with a hectic 2015-16 schedule still being finalised by Cricket Australia<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
