Sandeep Lamichhane has signed for the Hobart Hurricanes for the 10th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) starting on December 10. It has to be seen now whether he can make up in time to recover from the illness and complete the necessary quarantine periods to play in the T20 league in Australia.
The Hurricanes would be sweating with the sad news as the youngster is their premier spinner for BBL 10.
