Annabel Sutherland to lead Stars
“I’m thrilled to announce Annabel Sutherland as the new Melbourne Stars WBBL Captain,” said General Manager Blair Crouch.
“Annabel has proven herself as a standout performer at both domestic and international level and has worked extremely hard on and developed her leadership skills, particularly over the last couple of years.
“Despite still being so young, Annabel is vastly experienced and her reputation within the game is second to none.
“I’d also like to pay tribute to Meg Lanning’s captaincy during her time at the club and what an amazing resource and support for Annabel to still have, both on and off the field.”
Sutherland will captain the side on Sunday in the Stars opening match of the Weber WBBL|10.
