WPL 2024: Gujarat Giants Name Lea Tahuhu As Replacement For Lauren Cheatle
Gujarat Giants: Gujarat Giants (GG) have named tall New Zealand right-arm pacer Lea Tahuhu as a replacement for Australia’s left-arm fast-bowler Lauren Cheatle for the 2024 edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL), starting on February 23.
Lea, who has represented New Zealand in 80 T20Is and 93 ODIs and has 78 and 109 wickets to her name in T20Is and ODIs respectively, will join the franchise for INR 30 lakh, said the tournament in a statement. Apart from being consistently regarded as one of the fastest bowlers in women’s cricket, Lea has also been a useful batter at the back end of the innings.
Lea was part of the New Zealand team claiming a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. In women’s franchise cricket, she turned out for Melbourne Renegades and the Sydney Thunder in Australia’s WBBL, and for the Manchester Originals in The Hundred in England.
