“I’m very appreciative of the support and opportunities I’ve received from Scorchers throughout my career, and I’m looking forward to being part of the future of this club as well,” Turner said. “I’m at the stage of my career where my priority is trying to win trophies, and I have little doubt Perth is the best place to do that.
“Our ability to keep our core group of players together has been integral to our success in the past, and is very much our plan for the future. On top of that, I’m excited to help our promising crop of younger players reach their potential.”
It is rare for BBL deals to be so lengthy. Australia’s Test wicketkeeper Alex Carey has a four-year contract with Adelaide Strikers, and so does Melbourne Renegades opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, with both deals expiring in 2028.
Turner had missed most of last season’s BBL due to a knee injury, and had been sidelined for the bulk of the early stages of this domestic season due to various injuries.
“I think once you lose that drive to play international cricket… look around at how hungry and motivated everyone else is.. and it’d be easy to fall away once you lose that ambition,” Turner had told ESPNcricinfo ahead of the domestic season.
“I’m at a really nice stage of my career where I’m not taking anything for granted, and any opportunity to play for Australia from here will be a bonus. It’s certainly a motivation and a driving force.”
