Player Story
The WBBL Brisbane Heat will welcome one of the most experienced players to grace the Weber Women’s Big Bash League with former South African captain Mignon du Preez joining the club for the first time. The 34-year-old right hander opted to bypass the inaugural WBBL International player draft last weekend and link with the Heat as a direct nomination for WBBL|09. A creative stroke-maker, du Preez has played 93 WBBL games across six seasons with the Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes, scoring 2292 runs at a strike rate of 114. As South African captain, she led the Proteas in 46 ODIs, 50 T20Is and a Test match. At international level, du Preez scored 1805 runs in 114 T20I appearances, amassed 3760 runs in 154 One Day Internationals and produced a century in her only Test match. She played in four ICC Women’s World Cup campaigns, including last year’s tournament in India, and announced her retirement from international cricket in December.

Brisbane Heat’s indigenous artwork was collaboratively designed by WBBL player and proud Kunja woman Mikayla Hinkley and Brisbane Indigenous artist, Delores McDonald (“Aunty Delly”).
The centre circle represents the Gabba, alongside other water holes which used to be near the ground. 87 black strokes on red earth represent the wickets taken by Aboriginal great, Eddie Gilbert who played 23 games for Queensland.
