The Melbourne Stars have finalised their squad for WBBL|09 with the signing of Victorian youngster Jas Nevins.
The all-rounder becomes the 11th Victorian member of the Stars’ WBBL|09 squad. Nevins made her debut for Victoria in the WNCL in January this year against Queensland at the age of just 19.
Stars General Manager Blair Crouch said that Nevins rounds out the Stars’ WBBL|09 squad beautifully with her ability to play a variety of roles with both bat and ball as well as her excellence in the field.
Crouch also said that the Stars are now looking forward to the arrival of their overseas and interstate players as well as Head Coach Jonathan Batty. He believes that this squad can return the Stars to the finals for the first time since WBBL|07.
With 6 games in Melbourne this season, Crouch said that the Stars can’t wait to play in front of all of their members and fans. He is especially looking forward to the Stars’ match at the MCG on 25th November.
