The Perth Scorchers: The Perth Scorchers have signed West Australian left-arm seamer Joel Paris on a one-year deal for Big Bash League (BBL) Season 15. Paris, who was a free agent during the Big Bash League's Player Movement Window, returns to his original club after spending the past two seasons with the Melbourne Stars.

The move comes as Scorchers' veteran bowler Jason Behrendorff departs after a decade with the franchise, having signed a three-year deal with the Melbourne Renegades. While Paris may not have enjoyed the same level of success as Behrendorff, the 32-year-old pacer brings a similar skillset, known for his ability to swing the new ball and vary his pace effectively.

Paris comes off his most productive Big Bash season in BBL 14, where he played a key role in Melbourne Stars' late-season resurgence. Across six appearances, he took nine wickets at an impressive average of 16.11, with a remarkable economy rate of 6.59. His standout performance came in the Melbourne derby against the Renegades, where he recorded career-best T20 figures of 3-13.   Read More...
