England seamer Pat Brown has signed for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League.

The 21-year-old, who made his international debut this month in the Twenty20 series in New Zealand, will replace South Africa paceman Dale Steyn at the Stars in January.

Brown took 31 wickets as Worcestershire won the Vitality Blast in 2018 and followed up with 17 to lead them to finals day again last season.

Brown said: “It is a great honour to play for the Stars in the Big Bash. I am really looking forward to playing in one of the most exciting tournaments in the world.”
