Kirby Short Appointed Victoria Head Of Female Cricket
Short brings a wealth of experience to the role, having had a distinguished playing career that spanned over a decade. She captained the Brisbane Heat to consecutive WBBL titles in the 2018–19 and 2019–20 seasons and was regarded as a driving force behind the team’s success. Short retired from representative cricket in 2020.
"My grandfather, Mick Harvey grew up in Fitzroy and was a proud Victorian, so it seems very fitting that I have the privilege of contributing to the advancement of women’s cricket in this state. Victoria has a rich history in the sport, and I’m eager to take on this new challenge in Melbourne, working with the talented players and dedicated staff to build on that legacy," she said.
