The 30-year-old left-handed batter and right-arm medium pace bowler will be available for all remaining fixtures and brings significant international experience to Edgbaston.

Halliday has established herself as a regular member of the White Ferns squad since making her international debut in 2021. She has represented New Zealand in 56 One Day Internationals and 63 T20 Internationals, scoring more than 2,100 international runs across the two formats.

The Auckland-born all-rounder has amassed 1,462 ODI runs at an average of 34.00, including a career-best unbeaten 157 and nine half-centuries, while also contributing 16 international wickets.

Halliday arrives in Birmingham fresh from New Zealand's participation in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and adds further quality and versatility to Warwickshire's squad for the closing stages of the campaign. She has also gained experience in overseas franchise cricket with Perth Scorchers in the Women's Big Bash League.

Ali Maiden, Warwickshire Head Coach, said: "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 said: "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."
