Caoimhe Bray Debuts in Women's Big Bash League

Fifteen-year-old cricket prodigy Caoimhe Bray made history by debuting in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) as the youngest player ever, representing the Sydney Sixers against the Melbourne Renegades. Bray, who also plays for Australia's U17 soccer team, took the crucial wicket of Deandra Dottin and scored 12 runs off just five balls to help secure a thrilling victory. Captain Ellyse Perry shone in the match, scoring 81 runs and leading the team to chase down the Renegades' 178 total with an over to spare. Bray's performance has drawn praise from her captain, who called her a 'legend' and a special talent. The opening day of the WBBL showcased exceptional young talents, including France's Ines McKeon, who also made an impressive debut. Bray's dual-sport career continues as she balances cricket and soccer, aiming to excel in both fields.
