Notes
- The auction didn’t begin well for Illingworth—she went unsold twice before MI finally snapped her up in the accelerated rounds.
- Illingworth also played in the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup in 2023, taking four wickets from six games at an economy rate of 5.06.
- She debuted for the Stars in WBBL|09, after breaking into the Victoria team late in the 2022-23 summer, then moved to the Renegades for WBBL|10.
- A fast-bowler with a slingy action, raw pace and a fearsome bumper, Illingworth has spent time developing her craft at the notable women’s club Essendon Maribyrnong Park in Melbourne.
Quotes
- “I saw I got passed in, and I didn’t know there was (another) round, so I went to bed,” Illingworth told cricket.com.au. “And then I woke up to a crazy couple of messages, and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw it. Waking up a Mumbai Indian was very, very cool.”
- “I’ve got one of my idols I’m playing alongside,” she said while speaking about the pace legend who’s also back in the Blue and Gold, Shabnim Ismail. “I’m just super excited to get over there and give it a crack.”
