Courtney Belle Neale (born 4 July 1998) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a right-arm medium-fast bowler for South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers.[2] In addition to cricket, Neale played Australian rules football for the Norwood Football Club women's team during the 2023 SANFLW season.[3]

Career

[edit]

Neale played in three matches for Melbourne Renegades in the 2020–21 WBBL season and three matches for Victoria in the 2020–21 WNCL season.[4][5] She was in the Western Australia squad for the 2021–22 WNCL season before reluctantly terminating her contract due to covid border closures.[6]

Following a break from the game, Neale joined the South Australia women's squad for the 2023–24 Women's National Cricket League season.[7] In October 2023, Neale was named in the Adelaide Strikers squad ahead of the 2023–24 Women's Big Bash League season.[8]
