The aggressive England batswoman Danni Wyatt has chosen to withdraw from the upcoming Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), claiming exhaustion.
Danni Wyatt was slated to play for the Perth Scorchers Women after being selected as a first-round choice by the group earlier this month. Sophie Devine, the captain of New Zealand, was kept at platinum. Wyatt missed the most recent ODI series England played at home against Sri Lanka.
The Scorchers chose Amy Jones as their third international player through a direct nomination process. However, they will now need to find Danni Wyatt replacement. After selecting the 32-year-old during the draft, head coach Becky Grundy was quite happy and believed that the club would benefit from her versatility in the field. She will, however, need to make new arrangements now that Danni Wyatt is unavailable.
In the meanwhile, Brisbane Heat has hired English leg spinner Sarah Glenn to fill in for New Zealand all-rounder Amelia Kerr, who will miss the first several WBBL games. Although Kerr’s absence from the first few matches was anticipated, Brisbane had no qualms about selecting her as their platinum pick.
Our entire timetable is somewhat intimidating: Megan Schutt
Megan Schutt, an Australian seamer, discussed the rise in recent years in the amount of women’s cricket contests. The 30-year-old disclosed that the players and coaches have discussed the value of regulating their workloads.
To be honest, our entire itinerary is somewhat scary. However, simply having the option is most likely the greatest opportunity. Now that there are so many leagues, it’s bloody amazing if someone decides to play on the T20 circuit. It’s fine if they have the physical capacity and desire to continue doing that. But it’s undoubtedly intimidating, and we’ve talked with our coaches about how we’re going to control ourselves, according to Schutt, who spoke to cricketmood.
On October 19, the upcoming WBBL gets underway with a matchup between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars in Sydney, the site of last year’s final.
