Sydney [Australia], April 8 (ANI): Cricket Australia has announced its national contract list for the 2026-27 season, naming 18 women's players.
Under the MOU between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers' Association, between 15 and 18 female players are eligible to be centrally contracted, as per the Cricket.au website.
Fast bowlers Chloe Ainsworth and Lucy Hamilton have come in on their first national contracts, and Nicola Carey remains on the list after earning an upgrade during Australia's recent tour of the West Indies.
Alyssa Healy (retired), Tayla Vlaeminck and Tess Flintoff were not renewed from last season's list.
