Elyse Villani

With over 90 appearances for Australia to her name and several domestic awards, the Tasmanian Tigers secured arguably the biggest move of the 2021 off season, luring Ellyse Villani to the apple isle.

Fresh off a blistering WNCL season for Victoria – in which Villani smashed 611 runs at a clip of just over 87, including three centuries, Villani joined the Tasmanian Tigers, assuming the captaincy in the process.

The Female Domestic Player of the year for two consecutive seasons has also been recalled into the national discussion after a two year absence, named in the Australia A side for the 2022 Women’s Ashes. Previously, Villani represented Australia in 34 WODI’s and 62 WT2OI’s, and on current form, is every chance to add more appearances to those already lofty totals.
