The right-arm seamer has 95 wickets to his name in 75 BBL matches at an impressive average of 22.47. Speaking about the move, Heat’s coach Lehmann lauded Adelaide Strikers’ management for agreeing to the transfer request put forward by Laughlin himself as this would enable the seamer to return to his home state.
Laughlin has played five ODIs and three T20Is in Australian colors and is considered to be one of the best additions to this year’s squad along-with former South African captain AB de Villiers. The lanky 37-year-old pacer has been one of the most prolific wicket-takers in domestic T20s all over the world, having played in India, Afghanistan, West Indies and the Abu Dhabi (ongoing).

Laughlin has been replaced by New South Wales seamer Harry Conwoy by Adelaide Strikers. Conwoy is yet to play his first match in BBL. In the BBL07, Laughlin team up with Jake Weatherald to take an outstanding catch near the boundary line, displaying his athletic skills as well.
