The Adelaide Strikers have strengthened their squad for BBL|14 by signing Liam Scott as a Local Replacement Player (LRP) for Travis Head, who will be absent due to international commitments.
Liam Scott’s Profile
- Role: Allrounder (Right-hand batter, Right-arm medium bowler)
- Previous BBL Experience: Played four matches for the Strikers in BBL|10 and BBL|11
