Keightley, who is currently head coach of Mumbai Indians in the WPL and MI London in The Hundred, has led Thunder to 17 wins and two finals series across three seasons at the helm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Keightley, who appeared in nine Tests, 82 ODIs and one T20 match, is widely considered a great of NSW and Australian women\u2019s cricket. She has built a world-class coaching resume, leading both Australia Women and England Women, taking the Perth Scorchers to two WBBL Finals and guiding the Northern Superchargers to a Women\u2019s Hundred title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Keightley is confident the side will return to finals form in WBBL|12 after a disappointing campaign last summer. \"I\u2019m really excited to be staying with Sydney Thunder for another two years. We\u2019ve got the talent that can make us a title-winning side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll have both been outstanding for Australia recently. We saw Tahlia Wilson make her international debut for Australia off the back of another great year,\" she was quoted by Sydney Thunders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLast season was obviously disappointing from an on-field perspective. We know we have a much better performance in us, and we will be pushing ourselves to get back into genuine contention. I know this group, the work we\u2019re doing behind the scenes, and I believe the squad is building towards something special in the upcoming season.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Lisa is a genuine legend of women\u2019s cricket, and we couldn\u2019t be happier that she\u2019s sticking with us. She's a highly sought-after coach with interest from teams around the world, but she loves being here, and we love having her at Thunder,\" Copeland said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
