South Australian local product, Annie O’Neil has re-signed with Adelaide Strikers ahead of Weber WBBL|07, adding further depth to the near complete squad.
The 22-year-old is damaging in the middle-order, as well as demonstrating handy leg-spin and oozing talent in the field.
The right-hander made her debut in blue during WBBL|05 after a number of successful appearances at State and First-Grade level.
The two-time premiership player for Sturt Cricket Club has proven herself as an aggressive middle-order batter, currently holding a remarkable club record of 242 not out.
A successful junior, O’Neil led South Australia’s Under 18 side in back-to-back National Championships in 2016 and 2017.
Looking forward to a third summer in blue, O’Neil is excited about the challenges that lay ahead in WBBL|07.
“I am really excited to re-sign with the Strikers, it’s a great franchise and group to be a part of and I think we have a team that will be extremely competitive throughout the season.”
The Adelaide Strikers are an Australian professional Twenty20 cricket team based in Adelaide, South Australia, competing in the Big Bash League (BBL). Established in 2011, they succeeded the Southern Redbacks, who played in the now-defunct KFC Twenty20 Big Bash. The Strikers play their home games at the Adelaide Oval and wear a cornflower blue uniform.
