Smith & Winfield-Hill sign WBBL deals
- Published
England left-arm spinner Linsey Smith and opening batter Lauren Winfield-Hill have been signed as replacement players for the Women's Big Bash League.
Smith, who was part of England's T20 World Cup squad earlier in October, has signed for Melbourne Renegades for an unspecified amount of time.
Winfield-Hill returns to Brisbane Heat for the opening two games, having played for them in the inaugural campaign in 2015.
She is covering for Jemimah Rodrigues, who is playing for India in a white-ball series against New Zealand.
Smith's availability is likely to depend on whether she is part of England's squad to tour South Africa from 24 November.
Heat and Renegades both play as part of the triple-header that starts the tournament on Sunday, 27 October.
