International leg-spinner Sarah Glenn will tackle a new challenge this season, signing on for the WBBL Brisbane Heat for the entire Weber Women\u2019s Big Bash League.<\/p>\n
Glenn, who played with the Heat as an International Replacement Player in WBBL|09 and last season, is the first WBBL player signing to be announced since the Player Embargo period ended last week or all clubs.<\/p>\n
The crafty leg-spinner has twice taken four wicket hauls for the Heat in the WBBL, including 4-18 last season against the Sydney Thunder.<\/p>\n
Glenn, 27, has signed for all of WBBL|12, including the Finals.<\/p>\n
Heat coach Mark Sorell expressed his delight at the club\u2019s eighth player signing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re rapt to have \u2018Glenny\u2019 back with us, and this time for the entire competition,\u2019\u2019 Sorell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s an outstanding person, great team player, and as we have seen, a very skilful bowler who will complement our attack in whatever role we ask of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been keeping an eye on her bowling during the year and her efforts for Yorkshire and for the Southern Brave in The Hundred have been excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glenn and former Heat captain Jess Jonassen played for Yorkshire during the English summer this year, alongside Queensland Fire regular Lauren Winfield-Hill. She was also a teammate of Charli Knott with the Southern Brave in The Hundred.<\/p>\n
She has taken more than 100 wickets in white ball matches for England.<\/p>\n
Glenn has played 73 T20 Internationals for England, taking 89 wickets at 16.48 with an economy rate of 6.05, as well as 23 wickets from her 19 ODI games.<\/p>\n
Brisbane finished eighth last season after a difficult competition that saw injuries and player unavailability sentence them to a winless competition.<\/p>\n
However, they attracted a sell-out crowd at Allan Border Field during the season.<\/p>\n
With the signing of Glenn, the Heat have secured eight players to date, with further signings to be announced.<\/p>\n
Clubs can have a maximum squad size of 18 players in KFC BBL|16 and 15 players in Weber WBBL|12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"International leg-spinner Sarah Glenn will tackle a new challenge this season, signing on for the WBBL Brisbane Heat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[99,603],"class_list":["post-86207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brisbane","tag-brisbane","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
