Western Australian D'Arcy Short added another string to his bow, named both the Hurricanes BBL player of the tournament and members' MVP.
WNCL and Hurricanes star Corinne Hall added to her list of achievements with the WNCL player of the tournament after scoring 241 runs at an average of 60 as England captain Heather Knight took top honours for the WBBL.
Riverside Cricket Club's Emma Manix-Geeves' season was recognised after scoring 228 runs at the National Indigenous Championships, being named female indigenous cricketer of the year.

As a sports-mad fan who loves to remain challenged, sports journalism always seemed the path for me and it's allowed me to do things I never thought possible. A keen racquet sports player, I'm experienced in that field, allowing me to do my job at a strong standard.
