Ming in Chinese first for Big Bash

SYDNEY: Hong Kong’s Ming Li on Monday became the first Chinese cricketer to join Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash League, after honing his bowling by watching YouTube videos of Shane Warne.
The Sydney Sixers hired the 24-year-old for the southern summer season under the Cricket Australia (CA) rookie programme.
Li has played cricket since 2004 and made his debut for Hong Kong in 2010, followed by selection for the 2010 Guangzhou and 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
