Sophie Molineux Dropped From Cricket Australia Contract List; Alana King Added
Australia leg spinner Alana King on Thursday has earned her first Cricket Australia (CA) following a whirlwind season that saw her debut in international cricket through women's Ashes and playing a crucial hand in the Meg Lanning-led side winning their seventh ICC Women's Cricket World Cup title in New Zealand.
"Alana King came into the side during the Ashes and hasn't missed a beat. She produced match-winning performances across all three formats and thoroughly deserves her spot on the list. After the loss of Georgia Wareham to injury, we were in a fortunate position to be able to replace her with another outstanding leg spinner in Alana. It's a real credit to Alana and the Australian Cricket system to have someone of her calibre waiting in the wings ready to go," said Shawn Flegler, Australia women's chief selector.
