Scorchers land England dynamo Donald to fill key void
Powerful wicketkeeper-batter Aneurin Donald has signed with Perth Scorchers for KFC BBL|16
Perth Scorchers may have found a replacement for Australia white-ball star Josh Inglis after landing dynamic England wicketkeeper-batter Aneurin Donald for KFC BBL|16.
Donald, who made his T20 international debut last month, has signed a one-year deal with full availability including finals.
Three-time BBL champion Inglis did not resign with the Scorchers in the nine-day player movement window following their historic sixth men's Big Bash title in January.
Since a contracting embargo was lifted in August, the 83-game Scorchers veteran is yet to commit to the club while Donald has signed his maiden BBL contract.
