Australian allrounder George Bailey has signed for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League for another two years.

Bailey's signing on Thursday adds to an already exciting lineup for the 2015/16 season featuring star Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara.

"There is a fantastic vibe that surrounds the KFC T20 Big Bash League and I absolutely love putting on the Hurricanes shirt and playing in front of a packed home crowd," Bailey said in a statement from Europe where he is holidaying after captaining the Kings XI Punjab in the recent IPL.

The Hurricanes line-up will also include the return of former West Indian captain Darren Sammy.

Hurricanes lineup so far: Tim Paine, Ben Dunk, Cameron Boyce, Jake Reed, Shaun Tait, Darren Sammy, Kumar Sangakkara, Dan Christian, Simon Milenko, Jon Wells, Sam Rainbird, Beau Webster.
