Perth Scorchers have completed their overseas trio for the WBBL by signing England wicketkeeper-batter Amy Jones.
Jones opted for the direct nomination route which made her unavailable in last week's draft and comes with a reduced maximum fee. She has previously had two seasons with Scorchers as well as spells with Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder. Overall she has made 938 runs in the WBBL at 23.45 and a strike-rate of 109.70.
"Amy brings versatility and international experience to our playing group and will be a key member of our middle-order," Scorchers head coach Becky Grundy said. "She is also a great leader around the group and formed excellent relationships in her previous stint with the Scorchers."
Jones joins Sophie Devine and England team-mate Danni Wyatt at Scorchers. The club opted to retain Devine ahead of Marizanne Kapp at the draft with Kapp being taken as the No. 1 pick by Sydney Thunder.
Scorchers had set out wanting to stack their batting with overseas signings, showing confidence in their local list to take the bowling load alongside Devine.
Other confirmed direct signings since the draft have been Sophia Dunkley to Melbourne Stars and Mignon du Preez to Brisbane Heat. Suzie Bates, Tammy Beaumont and Lizelle Lee also opted for this route and they are expected to sign for Sixers, Melbourne Renegades and Hobart Hurricanes respectively.
