The 2020–21 Hobart Hurricanes Women's season was the sixth in the team's history. Coached by Salliann Briggs and captained by Corinne Hall, the Hurricanes played the entirety of WBBL|06 in a bio-secure Sydney hub due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] They finished the regular season in last place, resulting in the team's third wooden spoon in four years.
Squad
[edit]Each 2020–21 squad was made up of 15 active players. Teams could sign up to five 'marquee players', with a maximum of three of those from overseas. Marquees are classed as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|06 signing period.[2]
Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:
- New Zealand marquee Rachel Priest signed with the Hurricanes—her third WBBL team, having previously played for the Sydney Thunder and the Melbourne Renegades.[3]
- Erin Fazackerley departed the Hurricanes, signing with the Melbourne Renegades.[4]
- England marquee Heather Knight departed the Hurricanes, signing with the Sydney Thunder.[5]
- Naomi Stalenberg signed with the Hurricanes, departing the Sydney Thunder.[6]
- New Zealand's Hayley Jensen was added to the Hurricanes squad as a marquee replacement player after Tayla Vlaeminck was ruled out of the season through injury. However, Jensen would still only be eligible to play in the place of a fellow overseas marquee player, if or when required.[6][7]
- Erica Kershaw signed with the Hurricanes, departing the Melbourne Renegades.[6]
- Chloe Rafferty signed with the Hurricanes, having played with the Melbourne Stars in WBBL|05 as an injury replacement.[6][8]
The table below lists the Hurricanes players and their key stats (including runs scored, batting strike rate, wickets taken, economy rate, catches and stumpings) for the season.[9][10]
