Women’s Big Bash League: Jemimah Rodrigues speaks about joining Brisbane Heat's squad

Jemimah Rodrigues

Jemimah Rodrigues gave a hilarious response when asked how the team welcomed her when she joined the Brisbane Heat's squad for the Women's Big Bash League that commenced here on Sunday. Jemimah starred with an unbeaten 127 as India beat Australia in the World Cup semi-final.

The Women in Blue went on to beat the Proteas at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, to win their maiden ICC trophy. "I was not sure if Australia would allow me to cross the border to come here after the semi-finals, but honestly, everyone's been so warm and welcoming," said Jemimah.

Jemimah's start to her 2025 WBBL campaign wasn't memorable, as the Brisbane Heat suffered a loss in their first game, with the No. 3 batter scoring just six runs off nine deliveries.
