The Melbourne Stars are pleased to announce that Peter Handscomb has been named as a replacement player for Beau Webster.
Handscomb signs for Webster
Webster has departed the squad to join Australia's test preparations for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
"It's great to be back at the Stars and the squad is obviously playing with a lot of confidence at the moment," said Handscomb.
"I'm ready if needed and hopefully we can keep going deep into this tournament."
"Peter brings a lot of experience to the group and has enjoyed a wonderful 12 months of cricket both here and abroad and if required, we're confident he can have impact in this tournament," said Melbourne Stars General Manager Blair Crouch.
