Australia Women all-rounder Ellyse Perry has extended her deal with Sydney Sixers for two more seasons of the Women’s Big Bash League.
Perry, who has been with the franchise since the inaugural edition of the tournament, is the competition’s most prolific run-scorer, with 2,612 runs. She has also taken 32 wickets and captained her side to four successive finals – that included back-to-back title victories in 2016-17 and 2017-18.
Jodie Hawkins, the Sixers general manager, said: “Ellyse has been a part of the Sixers from the very beginning. She was our first ever ambassador, back in BBL01, and joined us as captain in WBBL01.
“On the field, Ellyse has been amazing for us throughout the history of the WBBL, but she is so much more to our club than just her on field performances.
“Ellyse has played an immeasurable role in the structure and philosophy of our club and, along with our other senior players, both Australian and International, has always had our club and it’s long term success at heart.”
