Australia wicket-keeper batsman Peter Handscomb is set to play in the Big Bash League (BBL) after being dropped from the third Test against India. The 26-year-old, who was replaced by all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, will represent Melbourne Stars, Cricket Australia reported on Wednesday.

It means the Stars could be boosted by the return of wicket-keeper batsman as the former will seek their first win of the season after two defeats at the hands of Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes.
