New Zealand World Cup: Perth Scorchers have secured New Zealand World Cup champion Brooke Halliday as an overseas replacement player for the remainder of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 10, the club said on Thursday.

The 29-year-old Brooke will replace England's Amy Jones for the Scorchers’ last three WBBL 10 fixtures as the English wicketkeeper-batter set to join her international teammates for a multi-format series in South Africa.

Jones will play her final game against Sydney Thunder on Friday, while Halliday could make her WBBL debut in the Scorchers’ clash against Adelaide Strikers at Karen Rolton Oval on November 19.
