Australian side Victoria Bushrangers have roped in hard-hitting Kiwi batsman Ross Taylor as a last-minute replacement for Sohail Tanvir to play in the domestic Twenty20 Big Bash after the Pakistani all-rounder pulled out of the tournament due to a knee injury.

The Bushrangers signed Taylor on Friday, who will join West Indian Dwayne Bravo as Victoria's international players for the 'KFC Big Bash' T20 challenge, the Australian Associated Press reported.
