BBL teams show keen interest in Carlos Brathwaite

THE most explosive six-hitter in world cricket could be headed to Sydney.

In a move that would turn the city into a Caribbean kingdom, the Sixers are chasing Carlos Brathwaite, the ice-man who created history last month when he won West Indies the World Cup final by smashing four consecutive sixes in the final over.

Should the Sixers win the race to sign the hulking all-rounder, it would pit Brathwaite directly against Thunder dynamo Andre Russell in a cross-Sydney West Indies rivalry that would light up the BBL.

Currently on an IPL deal with the Delhi Daredevils worth nearly $1 million, Brathwaite is undoubtedly the hottest property in Twenty20 cricket right now – a Windies superstar with all the flair of Chris Gayle, but without the ego.
