South African batter and women's team captain Laura Wolvaardt has recommitted to the Adelaide Strikers, penning a contract for two more seasons. She will continue to maintain her association with the Adelaide Strikers until BBL12. In her five-year journey with the franchise, Laura has racked up 1726 runs at 27.83 and a strike rate of 110.92.
"I'm absolutely delighted to be extending my time with the Adelaide Strikers for another two seasons. The club has become a second home to me, and I've made so many incredible memories here, especially our back-to-back championship wins," Wolvaardt said.
Strikers Head Coach, Luke Williams said, “Laura is a world-class player and a vital part of the Strikers family, so we are ecstatic to have her sign on for two more years.
"Her skill with the bat, combined with her leadership and experience, is invaluable. She has consistently performed under pressure and played a huge role in our previous championship successes. We know she will be a key pillar for us as we build towards a strong WBBL|11 season and beyond."
Meanwhile, Strikers didn’t have a successful season last year, claiming only three wins in ten games.
