Ellyse Perry is set to become a star attraction in the revamped English women's cricket program after being snapped up by Hampshire to play in two competitions this summer.
The southern county, one of England's eight tier-one professional women's teams, believe the signing of the 34-year-old, who has a claim on being the finest ever female cricketer, is a major coup, just like when they first snapped up Shane Warne for the men's domestic game a quarter of a century ago.
