Big Bash League: Laura Wolvaardt will extend her stint with the Adelaide Strikers in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) after being named their pre-draft signing on a new two-year contract.

The South Africa captain has played 71 matches for the Strikers across five seasons, scoring 1,726 runs at an average of 27.83 and a strike rate of 110.92. In WBBL 10, Wolvaardt accumulated 193 runs across nine matches, maintaining an average of 24.12.

The Strikers, who were chasing a third consecutive title last season, endured a disappointing campaign with only three wins from 10 games, finishing in seventh place.
