Adelaide Strikers Secure Wolvaardt with Two-Year WBBL Deal

🔷 WBBL: Laura Wolvaardt Re-Signs with Adelaide Strikers on Two-Year Deal South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt will continue her long-standing association with the Adelaide Strikers, signing a two-year pre-draft deal ahead of WBBL|11. The move confirms her as the Strikers’ overseas pre-signing, with the WBBL & BBL draft scheduled for June 19. Wolvaardt, who has featured in 71 matches for the Strikers across five seasons, has accumulated 1,726 runs at an average of 27.83 and a strike rate of 110.92. She was instrumental in the team’s back-to-back WBBL titles, and remains a cornerstone of the squad’s rebuild after a disappointing seventh-place finish last season. "The club has become a second home to me... I'm incredibly excited about the future," Wolvaardt said. "I’m determined to help bring more success to the Strikers and our amazing fans." Head coach Luke Williams praised her influence both on and off the field: "Laura is a world-class player... a key pillar for us as we build towards a strong WBBL|11 season and beyond." With this signing, Melbourne Renegades remain the only WBBL club yet to name a pre-draft overseas signing.
