Jemimah Rodrigues will be joined joined by South Africa’s Nadine de Klerk as one of the Brisbane Heat's two overseas signings.
Just days after being part of India’s historic ICC Women’s World Cup win, Jemimah Rodrigues is headed to Australia for the upcoming WBBL season with the Brisbane Heat. Jemimah’s 127-run knock in the semifinal against Australia was impressive.
She was dismissed for ducks in matches against Sri Lanka and South Africa and was left out of the playing XI for India’s clash with England in Indore. But a promotion to No. 3 against New Zealand saw her rediscover form.
Jemimah Rodrigues heads to Australia for the new WBBL season, having enjoyed the previous edition where she scored 267 runs in 10 games for Brisbane Heat. She recorded an average of 33.37 and a strike rate of 139.06. The right-handed batter also shared a travel update with fans on social media.
Jemimah Rodrigues will be joined joined by South Africa’s Nadine de Klerk as one of the Brisbane Heat’s two overseas signings. De Klerk impressed during the World Cup, hitting crucial sixes in matches against India and Bangladesh. However, she couldn’t finish the job in the final.
On Sunday, November 9, Jemimah Rodrigues and the Brisbane Heat will begin their WBBL 2025 season against the Melbourne Renegades at Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Last season, the Heat finished second in the standings but were defeated in a tense final by the Renegades, who triumphed by seven runs (DLS method) at the MCG.
