Lynn, 35, has committed to a fourth straight season with the Strikers, after coming off a blistering finish to the T20 Blast in England, where he hammered an unbeaten 108 off just 51 balls, including 11 sixes, to power Hampshire to victory in their semi-final against Northamptonshire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I\u2019m really looking forward to getting back to Adelaide Oval and helping the team go deep into finals this year. We\u2019ve got an exciting squad this season and I can\u2019t wait to see what we can produce when we take to the field on December 17,\" said Lynn in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lynn, though, is yet to complete a full season with the Strikers. His first two stints were short-term contracts that allowed him to depart early for playing in the ILT20 in the UAE, while a hamstring injury last summer limited him to just seven games and ruled him out of the club\u2019s final two fixtures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the ILT20 now rescheduled to early December, more overseas players are expected to be available for the latter stages of the BBL, which is also reflected in Lynn\u2019s intent to play a full and uninterrupted campaign for the Strikers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have Chris returning to the Strikers as we strive for a deep finals campaign. While his batting exploits speak for themselves, his experience and leadership are equally invaluable to our emerging players within the squad. I think I speak for all Strikers fans in welcoming him back to Adelaide Oval - we can\u2019t wait to see what he can produce in BBL|15,\u201d said head coach Tim Paine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

They will also have services of overseas signing in England all-rounder Jamie Overton, who is set to be available for the BBL season after announcing an indefinite break from red-ball cricket, which effectively rules him out of England\u2019s Ashes plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
