Somerset batter Tom Banton has replaced Sussex's Tom Alsop at defending champions Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash.
Alsop, 29, has been ruled out with a quad injury, and Banton, 26, will replace him until 6 January, when he is set to play for MI Cape Town in the SA20.
Banton played for Heat in the 2019-20 Big Bash and scored 223 runs in seven innings, at a tournament-high strike-rate of 176.98.
He is part of Heat's squad for Sunday's game against Adelaide Strikers.
Heat beat Melbourne Stars in their opening game on Thursday.
