Sean Abbott is one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the Big Bash League. He has played for the Sydney Sixers for most of his career.
Sean Abbott last played for New South Wales and sustained a hamstring injury during the Sheffield Shield game, which ruled him out of the First Ashes Test as well. He returned to some training recently, but the BBL, which begins on Sunday, is too soon for him to participate.
“He’s working his way through that. It gives our wider base an opportunity to start the season, and obviously Sean comes in and complements our attack at that time,” as reported by Honeyball.

“He’s not coming on the trip with us for this game,” Shipperd said. “He’s just a fantastic young bowler. Compliments our other spinners in the side, Davies, Murphy and Manenti,” said the coach.

Other than this, Greg Shipperd also clarified the role of the all-rounder Jack Edwards in the upcoming season, suggesting that he could be slotted in anywhere between no. 3 and no. 7.
Greg Shipperd informed of the changes in the squad
Shipperd went on to confirm that other than Sean Abbott, they will also not have Jackson Bird since he has joined the Hobart Hurricanes, and hence Mitch Perry might be their new pacer in the side.
He also pointed out that though several of the senior players in the side have been contributing with runs, the standout among them was Josh Philippe. His 89 off 20 balls was pretty exciting to witness in the warm-up game.
