LONDON: Beth Mooney, the player of the tournament at the Women’s T20 World Cup, will link up with captain Meg Lanning at Welsh Fire for the inaugural edition of The Hundred.
The England and Wales Cricket Board announced Mooney, plus fellow Australians Ashleigh Gardner and Nicola Carey and South Africa all-rounders Marizanne Kapp and Chloe Tryon, as the latest internationals to sign up
for the event.
Mooney was a pivotal figure in Australia’s charge to a fifth T20 crown, scoring an unbeaten 78 in Sunday’s final against India in Melbourne.
“I’m really excited to take part in the first season of The Hundred,” said Mooney, who is top of the women’s T20 international batting rankings. “It looks likes it is developing into a high-quality, world-class competition.”
Gardner has become Birmingham Phoenix’s second overseas signing, joining New Zealand’s Sophie Devine. Seam bowler Carey, another member of the triumphant Australia squad, will unite with compatriot Alyssa Healy at Northern Superchargers.
