The Australian broadcaster has also recruited former AFL hero and Dockers champion Matthew Pavlich, who will be part of the off-court reporting team.

Elsewhere, Andy Lee is returning alongside Sophie Monk and Mike Goldstein for a special Australian Open edition of The Hundred, while feature some of the tournament's biggest names.
