"Because I feel like the program's in such a great space, it did make the decision a lot easier for me," she said.
While Villani wanted no part of coaching, she said she was eager to mentor many of the younger cricketers who eye Australian listings in their future.
"I see myself as a genuine all-rounder and hopefully being in Tassie gives me the opportunity to bat a bit more," Silver-Holmes said.
"That was the reason why I came down here - for the opportunity - I'm only young so as much opportunity as I get will help my cricket going forward."

Villani will add her run-scoring prowess to a solid batting line-up that includes Heather Graham and Nicola Carey, who were part of the Tigers team that fell just shy of the final last season.
"Even though my personal life brought me down here initially, I wouldn't have signed if I didn't feel like there wasn't scope for me to continue to develop as a player individually," she said.
"To know the program's in a really great space - it just means I can come over here and know my dreams and ambitions are being supported and I'm part of a world-class program."
