Warwickshire Women have signed New Zealand international Brooke Halliday as an overseas player for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 30-year-old all-rounder will be available for all of Warwickshire’s remaining fixtures, adding considerable international experience to the squad at Edgbaston. Halliday is a left-handed batter who also provides an additional bowling option with her right-arm medium pace. She is available for immediate selection.
Since making her international debut in 2021, Halliday has become an established member of the New Zealand women’s team. The Auckland-born player has represented the White Ferns in 56 One Day Internationals and 63 T20 Internationals, scoring more than 2,100 runs across the two formats. Halliday has scored 1,462 ODI runs at an average of 34.00. Her record includes a career-best unbeaten 157 and nine half-centuries.
Halliday has also claimed 16 wickets at international level and will strengthen Warwickshire during the closing stages of their 2026 campaign. She arrives in Birmingham fresh from New Zealand’s participation in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup and adds quality to Warwickshire’s squad. She has also gained experience in overseas franchise cricket with Perth Scorchers in the Women’s Big Bash League.
Warwickshire Head Coach Ali Maiden welcomed Halliday’s signing and highlighted what she can bring to the team. “Brooke is a proven international performer who gives us quality, experience and balance to the squad. Her ability to contribute with the bat is crucial and having her as an option with the ball will be a huge asset, and we’re delighted to have her with us for the remainder of the season.”
Halliday also spoke about joining Warwickshire Women and her excitement about playing domestic cricket in England. “I’m really excited to join Warwickshire Women and experience domestic cricket in England. The club has big ambitions and I’m looking forward to meeting the squad, contributing wherever I can and helping the team finish the season strongly.” She will now be available for all remaining Warwickshire Women fixtures.
Halliday’s arrival gives Warwickshire another player who can contribute in more than one department. Her left-handed batting gives the squad another batting option, while her right-arm medium pace provides an additional bowling choice. Her experience with New Zealand and Perth Scorchers will add to the quality at Edgbaston. Halliday is eligible for all remaining fixtures and is available for immediate selection.
She has played 56 One Day Internationals and 63 T20 Internationals, scoring more than 2,100 runs across the two formats. Her ODI record includes 1,462 runs at an average of 34.00, a career-best unbeaten 157 and nine half-centuries. She has also taken 16 international wickets. These numbers highlight the international experience Halliday will bring to Warwickshire for the remainder of the season.
Halliday will now begin her time with Warwickshire Women for the remainder of the 2026 season. The club will have an experienced overseas all-rounder available for its remaining fixtures during the campaign. Her international background and experience in franchise cricket with Perth Scorchers give her experience in different conditions. Warwickshire will hope she can contribute with both bat and ball during her time with the team for the remainder of 2026.
