Last year she helped them win the Southern League title with the club going on to become the national champions.

Hall, 27, who plays for Tasmania Roar, will be returning to play for a strong Wokingham team that will include England vice-captain Heather Knight and, when available, England skipper Charlotte Edwards.

The team will be led by Alex Rogers, who along with Hall and Knight are in the Berkshire squad. Last year, the county played home fixtures at the Wokingham ground in Sadlers End, but for 2015 they will split their fixtures between Finchampstead CC and North Maidenhead.

One of the reasons is that Berkshire are keen to boost the women’s game at other clubs.

The bulk of the county team will continue to play for Wokingham.

Knight, 24,​ continues as the Berkshire skipper with 20-year-old​ Lissy Macleod her deputy.

​In addition to Hall, Berkshire have signed another Australian, Alex Blackwell, ​but they can only play one overseas player at a time. Allrounder Blackwell, 31, is vice-captain of the Australian national​ team and has made nearly 200 appearances in Test, one-day and Twenty20 matches.​ For the first time the Berkshire players will be playing in coloured clothing of black, green and gold, with the shirts carrying squad numbers.

l ​JANET Rogers, one of the leading lights in women’s cricket at Wokingham, ​has left the​ Berkshire board. She is now working in London and was finding it difficult to attend meetings.

Her role as ​communications director has been taken over by Ralph Dellor.
