Kim Garth is one of three Stars who has been awarded a Cricket Australia contract for 2023-24.

It is Garth’s first ever Australian contract, awarded alongside Meg Lanning and Annabel Sutherland. 

Garth was part of Australia’s victorious T20 World Cup campaign in February and was recently named in Australia’s squad for the CommBank Women’s Ashes Tour of the UK 2023.

The contracts are primarily assessed on player performances during the past 12 months and identify those whom the National Selection Panel believe will represent Australian teams over the year ahead.

As outlined in the new MOU agreement, the number of women’s CA contracts has increased and all of those holding contracts will now be recognised as full-time athletes.
