Australian women's cricket star makes state switch
The 34-year-old is returning to NSW to be closer to family and friends.
"The last six years I have spent in Melbourne and at Cricket Victoria have been extremely fond ones," Perry said in a statement on Thursday.
"And I'm incredibly grateful for all the opportunities and memories that I'll cherish.
"I'm really looking forward to being back in Sydney and closer to my family and long-time friends."
Perry - a six-time T20 World Cup winner and five-time Ashes winner - has played for the WBBL's Sydney Sixers while representing Victoria in state ranks.
Leah Poulton, Cricket NSW's head of female elite cricket, said the return of Perry was a boost for the Breakers' defence of their one-day and four-day titles.
"We're thrilled to welcome Ellyse back home," Poulton said.
"She's not only one of the world's premier cricketers but also a role model and leader whose impact extends far beyond the field.
"Pez's experience and approach to the game make her an incredible asset to any team."

Dewald Brevis breaks record in second Australia vs. South Africa T20
Australia's hopes of going 2-0 up in the five-match white-ball series against South Africa (7/218) hangs in the balance after a world class knock and first international ton from Dewald Brevis (125 n/o). The hosts elected to bowl after winning the toss and quickly piled on the pressure with the visitors wading water at 3/57 in the seventh over. However, the efforts of 22-year-old Brevis shocked the crowd with a blistering maiden century in which he made 12 fours and cleared the rope eight times, surpassing Faf du Plessis with the highest T20 score for South Africa. His punishing knock included 40 runs from 10 balls punishing Glenn Maxwell and Josh Hazlewood in particular in the 12th and 13th over. Australia were dealt a further blow when their best bat from the first T20 Tim David suffered what appeared to be a right shoulder injury after making a diving effort to prevent a boundary. David came back onto the field an over or so later but departed as quickly as he returned, sitting out the entire second half of the innings. Brevis' innings was intertwined with luck when dropped by substitute fielder Matthew Kuhnemann at deep wicket on 56, but steered by power hitting which captivated the Top End crowd. With David now in question for the runchase, and first-drop Josh Inglis replaced by Alex Carey – his first T20I in four years – the Australian's will have to be near perfect if they are to chase down the visitors total. And after the heavy metal, 'all guns blazing' approach that narrowly got them over the line 48 hours prior, the hosts record breaking winning streak may be put to bed.

‘Follow him into battle': The Wallabies enforcer inspiring teammates to fight their corner
'As much as we had a really good fan base back home on home soil, we know out here it's going to be heavily a green fan base and we've got to make sure that the 23 blokes in that circle are looking after each other and we can't take a backwards step,' Hooper said from Johannesburg. After initially planning to return to France, Skelton stayed with the Wallabies for his first Rugby Championship games – outside a World Cup year – since 2017. 'Anyone who's picked in the jersey alongside him will follow him into battle, that's for sure,' Hooper said. 'He's an enforcer. That's what he's been doing for a long time now in the beautiful sport of rugby. For want of a better word, he loves being that grub. He loves taking it to teams physically. Making the gentlemen's game a little bit more exciting. We love playing with him. He's just a physical presence.' Hooper was man of the match in the third Lions Test playing blindside flanker but would likely relinquish his position if Rob Valetini is fit and returns to the side. But it's also not out of the question that Schmidt keeps Hooper in the pack and rotates Harry Wilson onto the bench, with the skipper having played every minute in the Lions series. Loading Having debuted in Pretoria in 2023, Hooper played at the World Cup that year but failed to win many Test caps under Schmidt last year. It helped Hooper make the call to sign for Exeter in the English Premiership, but he also won a recall to the Wallabies based on a career-best season for the Brumbies. 'I love the gold jersey and I love playing in it,' Hooper said. 'My decisions to go overseas were definitely to improve myself as a rugby player. I don't have a crystal ball, unfortunately. 'I don't know what's going to happen in my future, but I'll just keep making decisions based on being a good rugby player and hopefully playing in that goal jersey because I absolutely love it.' Springboks roll out alpha move on Wallabies by naming team three days early He doesn't quite know all their names but Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus is wary of the Wallabies' threats ahead of the Rugby Championship opener in Johannesburg on Sunday morning. Erasmus talked up the Wallabies' scrum and aerial potency after unveiling a strong team for the Ellis Park showdown, and in an unprecedented sign of confidence, named his side on Monday – three days ahead of the deadline. Most coaches jealously guard their team until forced to name it 48 hours before the Test, to minimise the preparation time for rivals. But in a sizeable flex, Erasmus is not stressed about the Wallabies knowing what's coming. There is no Cheslin Kolbe, as he returns from injury, and no bomb squad on the bench – yet – but that's about the extent of the good news for Australia, with Erasmus rolling out 18 World Cup winners in his 23-man match day squad. Manie Libbok has been named at flyhalf and captain Siya Kolisi at number eight for the first time. Scrumhalf Grant Williams is alongside Libbok, with battering ram Andre Esterhuizen at inside centre and Jesse Kriel in the number 13 jersey, with Damian De Allende unavailable with injury. The back three includes fullback Aphelele Fassi, with Kurt-Lee Arendse and Edwill van der Merwe on the wing. With Jasper Wiese suspended, Kolisi switches to number eight having played much of the recent United Rugby Championship season there for the Sharks, with Marco van Staden and Pieter-Steph du Toit the two flankers. Veterans Eben Etzebeth and Lood de Jager are the lock pairing, while hooker Malcolm Marx has props Ox Nche and Wilco Louw either side of him. 'We actually changed our mind there,' Erasmus said about Kolisi's move. 'The more we practised we realised that the only position the guy plays at eight is at scrums, which happens maybe 13 or 14 times a game. 'General play is probably what happens most and having guys like Pieter, Marco and Siya on the field we really feel Australia is a threat at the breakdown. They really fight hard at the breakdown, and those guys clean out well at the breakdown, and we feel we are going to need that. 'It's just at scrumming where he is eight. I know I said a couple of weeks ago that Siya is a six and not an eight, but we came to the conclusion that we actually need him there and have Kwagga [Smith] on the bench.' The world champion Springboks are seeking a fifth successive win against the Wallabies. Eramus lauded the Wallabies form in the Lions series, and said there were threats from Australia across the field and said the high altitude conditions in Johannesburg could prove beneficial to the visitors. 'If you go through, [Taniela] Tupou, [Rob] Valetini and [Will] Skelton, and those three loose forwards, are pretty impressive. They scrummed really well in the second half against the Lions as well but I think there will be an aerial battle,' Erasmus said. 'At altitude the ball flies a mile so distance kicking will be a thing. Also they've got great guys in the air; you know [Joseph-Aukuso] Suaalii, the young boy [Max] Jorgensen, the other winger [Dylan Pietsch] is a really fiery winger who is really competitive, the inside centre [Len Ikitau] is really competitive. 'I don't think it's going to be a kicking competition but I think the aerial battle will be a vital one.' The Springboks have earned headlines for rolling on as many as seven forwards from their bench – which is known as the 'Bomb Squad' – but Erasmus opted for a traditional a 5-3 split between forwards and backs. Loading The coach did say he would add another forward if the Wallabies go with a 6-2 split when they name their side on Thursday. 'They [Australia] are a physical and well-coached team, and we'll certainly not underestimate how much those performances [against the British & Irish Lions], combined with their motivation to bounce back strongly against us after the last few results between the teams, and win their first match ever at Ellis Park, will inspire them,' Erasmus said. South Africa team: 15. Aphelele Fassi, 14. Edwill van der Merwe, 13. Jesse Kriel, 12. Andre Esterhuizen, 11. Kurt-Lee Arendse, 10. Manie Libbok, 9. Grant Williams, 8. Siya Kolisi, 7. Pieter-Steph du Toit, 6. Marco van Staden, 5. Lood de Jager, 4. Eben Etzebeth, 3. Wilco Louw, 2. Malcolm Marx, 1. Ox Nche

Heavyweights begin 2027 World Cup squad build
With two years to go until the Rugby World Cup in Australia, this year's Rugby Championship offers an early glimpse into the plans of the southern hemisphere heavyweights as they start shaping their squads for the 2027 showpiece. South Africa and Australia open this year's championship at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday, while Argentina and New Zealand clash in their round-one opener in Cordoba later in the day. South Africa are the current world champions and Rugby Championship holders, and look the team to beat again despite a tough two-Test visit to New Zealand, including their nemesis Eden Park in Auckland, where they have not won since 1937. The All Blacks swept their three-match July series against an under-strength France and will have eyes on regaining a title they have won for a record 20 times, boosted by facing their bitter old rivals at home. Australia finished their British & Irish Lions series on a high with a victory in the rain in Sydney as coach Joe Schmidt continues the Wallabies' rebuild until he hands over the reins to Les Kiss in mid-2026. Argentina, a threat to any side on their day but also prone to inconsistency, start again as underdogs but with plenty of bite. With the new Rugby Nations Championship to start in 2026, this will be the last southern hemisphere tournament until a likely shortened version ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus has used close to 50 players this year in easy wins over Italy (twice) and Georgia, but it will be a step up in quality against Australia in Tests in Johannesburg and Cape Town in the opening two rounds. Erasmus has continued to innovate tactics and the influence of attack coach Tony Brown on their style of play has become evident. This Springboks side is vastly improved from the one that lifted the World Cup in 2019, and is arguably also superior to the winning side in 2023. But Erasmus admits a concern as to their battle-readiness after their July canter. "You can look at battle-readiness in two ways," he said. "We haven't lost a player to injury, which bodes well for the Rugby Championship, but none of the matches we played were close. "We could pick from a full squad, and we weren't challenged tactically by Italy and Georgia, but those were physical matches." New Zealand may have swept France, but the general consensus is they are still a work in progress for coach Scott Robertson after he took over from Ian Foster following the last World Cup. They have talisman Beauden Barrett back from a hand injury and it will be interesting to see who gets the nod at No.10 with Damian McKenzie also in the mix, and ahead of the return of Richie Mo'unga next year. "You've got an Aussie team that played some great footy at the back of their Test series (against the Lions)," Robertson said. "You've got the South Africans. We know how strong they are and the Argentinians on their day are so creative. It's a hell of a competition, very tight and just what we need." Schmidt is juggling several injury concerns for Australia, whose last Rugby Championship title came in 2015, but expects the key trio of loose-forward Rob Valetini, lock Will Skelton and prop Taniela Tupou to be fit for Saturday. Flyhalf Tom Lynagh and prop Allan Alaalatoa remain longer-term casualties. Argentina have several injury concerns too, but welcome back Juan Cruz Mallía, Santiago Chocobares, Marcos Kremer, Bautista Delguy, Mateo Carreras and Ignacio Ruiz from the squad that lost their July series 2-0 to an under-strength England.
