I think the state is going from strength to strength, and that was a big part of my decision to come home, play alongside my mates and enjoy all my home domestic cricket formats here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I want to thank the Melbourne Stars for everything they&#39;ve done for me over the last seven years. They were very supportive of me when I was playing with Australia and I&#39;ve loved every minute with them,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Source - Agency<\/p>\r\n",
