Sophie Devine has signed a contract extension with the Perth Scorchers and shall continue to don the orange and black kit for two more years in the WBBL. The star New Zealand allrounder, who had been retained by the Scorchers in the inaugural overseas player draft last year, repaid her faith in fine fashion as she amassed 489 runs and scalped 14 wickets as she was named in the WBBL Team of the Tournament. Devine, one of the leading allrounders in world cricket, is only two wickets away from completing a 100 in the competition. She was delighted to have signed with the Scorchers for two more years and termed it as a 'no brainer'. She captained the side to the 2021-22 title - their first - and termed it a special memory. "I'm absolutely stoked to be returning to the Scorchers," Devine said. "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. "Winning the WBBL|07 title in front of our fans at Optus Stadium will always be a special memory for me, and something the whole group is incredibly motivated to achieve." The Scorchers have also been bolstered by the signing of Mikayla Hinkley from Brisbane Heat while Alana King has extended her contract with the club for three more seasons. Perth Scorchers squad (so far): Chloe Ainsworth, Stella Campbell, Piepa Cleary, Maddy Darke, Sophie Devine (INT), Mikayla Hinkley, Alana King, Lilly Mills, Chloe Piparo
