Cooper joins the Brisbane Heat for BBL10 after playing 71 games for the Melbourne Renegades, scoring 1202 runs at a strike-rate of 125.20. During his time in red, Tom took on a captaincy, was a key member of their BBL|08 premiership team and leaves the club as their most capped player.
Tom has played 145 career T20 matches, with 18 T20 Internationals and 23 ODIs for the Netherlands including two ICC World Cup campaigns.
The 33-year-old made his T20 debut for his home State South Australia and has also played in the BBL for the Adelaide Strikers.
Heat coach Darren Lehmann said Cooper’s versatility and composure were among the qualities that made him an attractive recruit.
“He’s a really good game manager, especially batting, and has the ability to either get his team away to a flyer at the top in the Power Plays or be innovative in the middle overs and close out an innings,’’ he said.
