The club has become a second home to me, and I've made so many incredible memories here, especially our back-to-back championship wins.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While last season didn't go as we hoped, I'm incredibly excited about the future and determined to help bring more success to the Strikers and our amazing fans. I can't wait to get back to Adelaide with the team.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Strikers head coach, Luke Williams is happy the team could sign Wolvaardt ahead of this year\u2019s draft, \"Laura is a world-class player and a vital part of the Strikers family, so we are ecstatic to have her sign on for two more years,\" Williams stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Her skill with the bat, combined with her leadership and experience, is invaluable.

We know she will be a key pillar for us as we build towards a strong WBBL 11 season and beyond.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Strikers head coach, Luke Williams is happy the team could sign Wolvaardt ahead of this year\u2019s draft, \"Laura is a world-class player and a vital part of the Strikers family, so we are ecstatic to have her sign on for two more years,\" Williams stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
