Following an excellent BBL|08, the Hobart Hurricanes stumbled a bit last season. They finished fifth and made it to the playoffs, but lost the Eliminator to Sydney Thunder. Now, the men in purple are hoping to redeem themselves.
With some key players likely to be occupied with international duties this summer, the team brought in some fresh blood in the hope it can finally secure a Big Bash title in BBL|10.
New additions to the Hurricanes include England's world No.1 T20 batsman Dawid Malan, young Englishman Will Jacks and Peter Handscomb from the Melbourne Stars.

The Hobart Hurricanes are based in Tasmania and play most of their home matches at Blundstone Arena, with some at University of Tasmania Stadium, Launceston. Matthew Wade is the current team captain, while Adam Griffith has been coaching the team since BBL|08.
The Hurricanes sit alongside the Melbourne Stars as the only teams to never win the BBL, despite being runners-up twice, in BBL|03 and BBL|07. Hobart hit a rough patch during BBL|05 and BBL|06, placing seventh and failing to qualify for the finals both times.
Fun fact: the Hurricanes were the first BBL franchise to have their own team song, performed to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home.
