Melbourne Renegades eye Jonny Bairstow for BBL 2026-27

Melbourne Renegades have expressed interest in signing England wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow for the 2026-27 Big Bash League season. The move would bring an experienced overseas player into the squad.

Bairstow has played in the BBL before and offers both batting depth and glovework behind the stumps. The Renegades are looking to strengthen their middle order ahead of the next campaign.

No formal offer has been made yet, and discussions remain at an early stage.
