Travelling squad selected for WNCL games in Brisbane

Victoria has made five changes to its travelling squad ahead of the final two WNCL rounds in Queensland next week.

Lucy Cripps, Elly Donald, Chloe Rafferty and Amy Vine come into the squad along with Box Hill Cricket Club’s Zoe Griffiths.

Meg Lanning, Sophie Molineux, Ellyse Perry, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham and Tayla Vlaeminck are unavailable as part of Australia’s T20I Tri-Series and T20 World Cup squad.

Molly Strano will captain the side after leading the Governor-General’s XI against India earlier this week.

“With so many players joining the Australian squad, our players have a great opportunity to showcase their skills across these two games,” Victorian coach David Hemp said.

“While we do lose some experience from the side, it’s a fantastic endorsement for Victorian cricket that we have six players in the Australian squad for the Tri-Series and the World Cup.”

Currently sitting third on the WNCL table, Victoria will likely need to win its final two matches to have a chance of reaching the WNCL final.
