Most people said "We are very excited to have Zanden on our list after he narrowly missed out on a contract this season," Joe Dawes, QC's general manager of elite cricket, said. "He no doubt learnt a lot and performed really well in Darwin, and I know the coaches are excited at having him in and around the group fulltime as the season is ripe for him.
"With Liam Guthrie relocating to England, Hayden will reinforce our pace bowling depth and add his left-arm variety to the squad full time performance. He's a talented all-round cricketer who has had a few injury setbacks in the past, so we're excited to provide an environment for him to showcase his skill in details."
