Bravo returns on a one-year deal for his third consecutive season at the Renegades, while Finch, the second-ranked T20 batsman in the world, has re-signed for three years. Bravo will be one of the Renegades' two international players for BBL06 but the team is still on the lookout to replace Chris Gayle, who has not been re-signed due to the lingering fallout from the West Indian batsman's infamous interview with television reporter Mel McLaughlin in January.
Stuart Coventry, Renegades chief executive, said Bravo's return was "fantastic" for the franchise. "He was a driving force for us last season and brings an enthusiasm and intensity about his play that is a really positive combination for the rest of the squad," he said on Monday (August 1). "We're delighted Aaron has agreed to extend his relationship with the club. As captain he is a critical part of our Renegades family and a big factor for our members and fans.
"His record in the BBL needs no introduction and we're looking forward to the next three seasons," he added.
The Renegades have been active in the off-season, snaring veteran spinner Brad Hogg and precocious batsman Marcus Harris from the Perth Scorchers. They are also searching for a successor to David Saker, who recently departed as head coach to take a position as Australia's full-time bowling coach.
