    "editor1": "<p><strong>Adelaide, Oct 7:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Adelaide Strikers have signed 16-year-old Darcie Brown for the upcoming season of the Women&#39;s Big Bash League (WBBL). Brown, who has signed a three-year deal with the Adelaide Strikers, has become youngest ever player (male or female) to sign a contract with the franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Born and raised in Kapunda, Brown moved to Adelaide to complete her education at Henley High earlier this year, with the school offering highly-regarded sports programs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She is one of the fastest female bowlers in the state, being clocked at speeds of up to 116 kmph, states the official website of the franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In early 2019, Brown was selected for the U-19 Australian side at just 15 years of age, travelling to New Zealand to play a series against the New Zealand development squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s a wonderful opportunity for Darcie to join our group - she&#39;s just an exceptionally exciting young talent and just for her to mix with the calibre of players we&#39;ve got both from an overseas point of view and our locals, will be great for her development,&quot; head coach Luke Williams said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Strikers will begin their WBBL campaign at Karen Rolton Oval on October 19 and 20.<\/p>\r\n",
