Perth Scorchers Rope In NZ Captain Sophie Devine For Next Two WBBL Seasons
Big Bash League: Perth Scorchers have roped in New Zealand skipper Sophie Devine for the next two seasons of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) under the league’s pre-draft signing rule.
She also becomes the first player signed by the Scorchers – whether male or female - under the pre-draft ruling by the league for overseas players. Sophie had a great WBBL season last year, smashing 489 runs at an average of 37.61, including hitting a century against Brisbane Heat. She also picked 14 wickets with her seam-bowling efforts.
"I'm absolutely stoked to be returning to the Scorchers for the next two seasons. For me, coming back to Perth was a no brainer. I have built such a special connection with the players and staff over the past four seasons, and I couldn’t imagine playing anywhere else.
