India women’s team vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur created history by becoming the first player from the country to sign for Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).

The 27-year-old will be representing the defending champions Sydney Thunder in the high-voltage tournament.

“It’s a great feeling. The WBBL is a great platform for women’s cricketers, being the first player from my country to sign a contract for a BBL club is one of my best moments,” she said to the Sydney Thunder website.

My aim is to serve my team to win the WBBL title for the second time in a row. Playing with the best players against the best players is always a great feeling. I would definitely learn a lot of things from them all,” Harmanpreet added.
