Fresh off their Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 heroics, a host of international stars will be in action in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 11, starting on Sunday in Brisbane.
However, only one member of the World Cup-winning Indian team will take part in the eight-team franchise competition in Australia. India’s star of the World Cup semifinal, Jemimah Rodrigues, will turn out for Brisbane Heat in the upcoming edition of the WBBL.
Jemimah has been regular in the league since 2021, having played 30 matches while representing three different teams—Melbourne Stars, Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat.
