Hobart Hurricanes WBBL Player: Former South Africa opener Lizelle Lee has extended her association with the Hobart Hurricanes by signing a fresh two-year deal with the club. Lizelle has been signed under the WBBL’s new multi-year, pre-draft signing rules for overseas players.

Lizelle relocated to Tasmania permanently after retiring from international cricket and has been associated with the Hurricanes in the WBBL since 2022. In the last WBBL season, Lizelle amassed 409 runs at an average of 37.18 and a strike rate of 146.07, including hitting an unbeaten 101 against Melbourne Renegades and was also named the Hobart Hurricanes WBBL Player of the Season.

“I love playing for the Hobart Hurricanes, and I am excited to return to Blundstone Arena for another season in Tasmania! I feel like the team made some strong progress last season, and I am looking forward to playing my role and natural game as we look to bring Tasmania and the Hurricanes their first WBBL trophy,” said Lizelle in a statement.
