Scorchers land England dynamo Donald to fill key void

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.

CONFIRMED: Wests Tigers lock down star forward ahead of November 1

Wests Tigers have signed star back rower Samuela Fainu to a two-year contract extension that keeps him at the club until at least the end of 2029. The 22-year-old has become one of the club's most important forwards, and head coach Benji Marshall saw securing him as critical. The new deal takes him off the market on November 1, out of reach of rivals including the PNG Chiefs. Code Sports reports the contract is worth around $800,000 a season, with ratchet clauses that could lift it past $1 million from 2028.

Hobart Hurricanes have signed Bangladesh international Rishad Hossain on a one-year deal for the upcoming Big Bash League season. He is available for the first eight games. Rishad was the club's leading wicket-taker last season, with 15 wickets, and earned the club's player of the year award. Hurricanes general manager Salliann Beams said the club wanted him back, and that he will sit alongside Australian white-ball spinner Adam Zampa in the squad. Hope and Rishad are currently the club's only overseas recruits.
