The Perth Scorchers will be boosted by the return of Inglis and Marsh. With two established players back in their ranks, they can expect to go into the Finals with an almost full strength side. Marsh, especially will be crucial, having won 3 Player of the Matches before being called up to the Ashes Squad. Iinglis too, was a key reason for the Scorchers’ impressive run last year, scoring 413 runs at 34.42. Both players will be available for Monday’s clash against the Brisbane Heat.
Swepson will be part of Heat’s BBL squad
The Heat, who are seventh on the BBL points table, will greatly benefit from the return of Neser and Swepson. The latter will pair up with Mujeeb to add teeth to the spin department. The former will provide a much needed boost to the pace department, which has been their weak point so far. The will be available for selection for the game against the Stars on the 16th.
The group stage games of the BBL are set to conclude on the 19th of January. Finals Week will commence on the 22nd with all teams still in the running for the top 5 positions.
