Lucy Hamilton Named Australia Captain For U19 Women’s T20 WC
T20 World Cup: Pace-bowling all-rounder Lucy Hamilton has been named as Australia’s captain for the upcoming ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup, starting in Malaysia on January 18. Leg-spinner Hasrat Gill has been appointed as vice-captain for the 16-team tournament.
Lucy will be playing in her second consecutive U19 World Cup after earning selection as a 16-year-old for the 2023 edition in South Africa. The all-rounder made her maiden WNCL appearance for the Queensland Fire in 2022 aged 15, becoming the state’s second youngest debutant, ahead of a WBBL debut at 16.
Lucy, who bowls left-arm pace, became the youngest cricketer in WBBL history to take a five-wicket haul when she claimed 5-8 from four overs for the Brisbane Heat against the Melbourne Stars at Drummoyne Oval in November last year.
