Premier Cricket's best women's players will once again come together for the Women's Premier All Stars Series.
The four-match series will begin with a One-Day match at Yarrambat War Memorial Park this Saturday, before T20 matches at Russell Lucas Oval and a double-header at the Albert Ground on Wednesday 26 March and Saturday 29 March.
Victorian All-Star Blue Head Coach, Cassie Brock, was excited for the matches ahead and the exposure it would provide for some of Premier Cricket's most talented players.
"CV's Cricket Performance strategy aims to develop a progressive pathway that assists in the development of cricketers capable of competing and succeeding at the highest level," said Brock.
"The Premier All-Stars series has been set up to provide the best performing and identified players with additional match opportunities and exposure to an elevated level of competition."
Brock will be joined Jess Duffin, who has been named assistant coach.
The All-Star Blue team will be headlined by Victorian contracted players Jas Nevins, Olivia Henry, recent WNCL debutants Samara Dulvin and Sara Kennedy, and the exciting Ella Hayward, who recently enjoyed her most successful WNCL campaign, leading Victoria in total runs (446) runs and wickets (21).
Their opponents, the All-Star Grey team, will be led by Victorian stars Sophie Reid, Georgia Prestwidge, Rhys McKenna, and Hasrat Gill.
Chris O'Brien has been named as Head Coach, with Anna O'Donnell selected as his deputy.
