Matthew Kuhnemann is set to take on greater spin-bowling responsibilities for Brisbane Heat following Mitch Swepson’s departure to the Melbourne Stars. The 29-year-old spinner is eager to bowl the “harder overs” and has confidence in his teammates, including Nathan McSweeney and Matt Renshaw, to support the spin attack. As the Heat aim for a successful BBL season after a disappointing prior campaign, a strong performance could help Kuhnemann secure a place in Australia’s T20 World Cup squad. The team is currently without left-arm paceman Spencer Johnson, who is out for the season due to injury.
