SYDNEY: Australia’s left-arm fast bowler Lauren Cheatle has extended her contract with Sydney Sixers for at least two more seasons of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), said the club on Saturday. Lauren joined the Sixers in 2017 after two seasons with Sydney Thunder and has been a mainstay with the side.
“The Sixers have been a huge part of my career and I’m proud to stay on for the next two seasons. The Sixers have the best fans in the world and I’d like to thank them for all their support over the time I have been with the club. I believe in what we can achieve together, and I’m ready to continue to give everything in Magenta, ” said Lauren in a statement.
Lauren is closing in on a major milestone in the WBBL - with 95 wickets from 93 matches, she is just five scalps shy of reaching the century mark. Despite being just 27, Lauren brings considerable experience, having debuted for Australia at 17 in 2016 and even played in the T20 World Cup in the same year.
