"I'm really excited to play in the Big Bash for the first time. Back home, it's a tournament we watch with great interest during the winter months, so I'm looking forward to meeting up with the team and experiencing it for myself," Hobart Hurricanes' website quoted Thompson as saying.
"It will be great to work with a new bunch of players and coaching staff, and I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can and playing the role that the team need me to," he added.
