The Hobart Hurricanes Women's team is a cricket team based in Hobart, Australia that will compete in the inaugural women's Twenty20 Women's Big Bash League commencing in December, 2015.[1] They will be one of 8 founding teams. They are a franchise aligned with the current men’s competition (Big Bash League) - adopting the same colours and team name. The team is coached by Julia Price, and the assistant coach will be David Drew.[2]
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said in a media release., “We see T20 as the premium format of the women’s game and the WBBL is an exciting concept that will increase the promotion and exposure of women’s cricket”.[3] Sutherland also said, “Our existing female domestic competitions are arguably the strongest in the world, with the continued success of the top-ranked women’s team, the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars, a testament to that.”.
