I have spent a winter in Perth, I know the place well and I am looking forward to getting back there," Livingstone said in an official statement.Livingstone is currently playing for the Cape Town Blitz in the ongoing Mzansi Super League (MSL).Perth Scorchers had to ensure Michael Klinger's retirement and Shaun Marsh's move to Melbourne Renegades so this signing of Livingstone will come as a much-needed reprieve."We are very pleased to have secured Liam for the upcoming season.
