The 31-year-old all-rounder joins the club as a marquee player for the series, where he is on loan from Victorian Sub-District Cricket Association club Plenty Valley.

Ingram, a left-hand batsman and orthodox spinner, has played 12 first-class matches and once represented a Jamaican side that played against Australia during a tour in 2008. Here, Ingram dismissed opener Simon Katich and made 10 runs batting in the top order.

Last season for Plenty Valley, Ingram made 659 runs at a tick under 60 and took 22 wickets.

The Red Caps had originally sought former premiership player Sam Miller to play in the tournament, but when he was unavailable due to commitments with South Australia, landed Ingram through their sponsorship deal with TNF Cricket.

Wendouree is one of four clubs to have confirmed marquee players for the BCA Twenty20 Cup.

Nepal national player and current Greenvale Kangaroo Sunam Gautam returns for Golden Point after featuring in four games for the Pointies last season, Welshman Gareth Davies, who is a clubmate of Ingram at Plenty Valley, will line-up for North Ballarat, while Footscray Edgewater’s Travis Dean will saddle up for district team VRI Delacombe.
