Gary Kelly will head to BPL24 as the reigning tournament MVP and a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, joining the Sydney Saints after his move from the Melbourne Pulse.

Bowls Australia confirmed that the three-time BPL champion and two-time MVP replaces Jamie Walker, linking up with Ben Twist and Dawn Hayman under coach Ryan Bester. Kelly won his second MVP award at BPL23 in February and subsequently took Glasgow 2026 men’s pairs gold with Northern Ireland teammate Adam McKeown.

BPL24 runs at Ocean Grove Bowling Club from 9–13 November 2026.
