On the eve of the Renegades' season-opening match against the Brisbane Heat on Monday night at GMHBA Stadium, Tye joins the team to replace bowler Tom Rogers, who has been ruled out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Possessing one of Big Bash's most outstanding records, Tye has played 105 BBL matches and taken over 150 wickets, making him one of the league's leading death-over specialists.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m genuinely excited about this move \u2014 it\u2019s a great bunch of fellas with serious talent and I\u2019m looking forward to cracking in,\u201d Tye said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe Renegades play a great brand of cricket and the direction the club is heading under Whitey (Cameron White) really appeals to me. The chats I\u2019ve had with the coaching staff were clear \u2014 they know how they want to play and where I fit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always prided myself on competing and taking ownership of big moments, and I\u2019m looking forward to contributing to this group.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tye will reunite with familiar faces at the Renegades, including former Perth Scorchers teammate Jason Behrendorff, who joined the club earlier this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Renegades also parted ways with veteran quick Kane Richardson during the off-season, with the 34-year-old finding a new home with Sydney Sixers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Renegades General Manager James Rosengarten stated that the signing was a strategic move ahead of the new campaign.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
