He took 37 wickets for the 2018-19 Sheffield Shield season with an average of 22.29, which included six in their final against champions Victoria.
For Twenty20 cricket, Abbott has 91 wickets in 70 matches for the Big Bash League, the Sydney Sixers, the IPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore, as well as Sydney Thunder.

He added that it is a good mix in the squad and that he wants to lead them from the front and help the younger players develop their talent while also achieving success for his new team.
