BREAKERS AND METEORS UNVEIL NEW-LOOK SQUADS FOR 2019-20
Reigning Women’s National Cricket League champions NSW Breakers will field a new-look line-up this summer that again includes Ranger’s, Lauren Smith and Rachel Trenaman.
Congratulations to Lauren and Rachel in what will be a big season for the 20-time WNCL champions, who claimed a third-straight domestic 50-over title last summer, but have bid farewell to six members of their title-winning side.
Down the Federal Highway, three Rangers have signed on with ACT Meteors for the 2019-20 Women’s National Cricket League season.
Best of luck to Isabelle Afaras who has earned her first state deal, and to Zoe Cooke and Matilda Lugg who have returned for the Meteors.
Former Meteor, left-arm spinner Sam Bates has signed with Tasmania.
