Scorchers land England dynamo Donald to fill key void
Key points
- Perth Scorchers have signed England wicketkeeper-batter Aneurin Donald on a one-year deal covering the Big Bash League season, including finals. The move follows Josh Inglis not re-signing with the club after its sixth men's Big Bash title in January.
- Donald joins English opener Zak Crawley in the squad, with Mitch Marsh's batting position still to be decided. Donald made 489 runs at a strike rate of 230.66 for Derbyshire in this year's T20 Blast.
- He made his England T20 debut against Sri Lanka and was named in the England T20I squad for matches in Australia.
