Harmanpreet Kaur Signs With Surrey Stars For Women's Super League 1

After her impressive stint with Sydney Thunders in the Women’s Big Bash League, India Women’s T20I skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is all set to play in the second edition of England’s Women’s Cricket Super League after being signed up by Surrey Stars, the BCCI confirmed on Saturday (May 27). Harmanpreet will now become the first Indian woman to play in England’s domestic T20 tournament.

Last year, the star all-rounder had created history by becoming the first Indian player- male or female – to feature in a foreign T20 league after she was signed by Sydney Thunder for the second edition of the Women’s Big Bash League.

Harmanpreet made an immediate impact for the Sydney-based outfit as she scored 296 runs in 12 innings at an impressive average of 59.20. She had also taken six wickets and was adjudged Sydney Thunder’s WBBL Player of the Tournament.

The Women’s Cricket Super League, meanwhile, will start on August 10 and will see all six teams playing each other once in a league format. The top-ranked side gets a direct entry into the final while the second and third-ranked sides will take on an each other to confirm their place in the title-decider.
