HayleySilver-Holmes

Starting WBBL|06 at just 17, Hayley Silver-Holmes is preparing for her third season in the Women’s Big Bash League having debuted as a 15-year-old in WBBL|04.

Silver-Holmes, a seam bowling and clean hitting allrounder, became the youngest ever Sixer to make her WBBL debut that season.

She played every match in WBBL|04 and now has 28 matches worth of experience with nine wickets to her name in magenta.

Late September 2019, the teenager became the second youngest NSW Breaker to make her WNCL debut when she was given her Baggy Blue cap against South Australia in Adelaide.

In her debut WNCL season – at just 16 – Silver-Holmes finished 2019/20 as the competition’s equal fifth leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets at an average of 20.

Her performances played a crucial role in a young Breakers squad progressing to a 24th straight WNCL Final, a game ultimately won by Western Australia.

No more important was her performance against Queensland at Hurstville Oval, claiming the outstanding figures of 3-18 from eight overs, including the wicket of Australian opener Beth Mooney. Silver-Holmes was named Player of the Match in the 87-run win for the Breakers.

Silver-Holmes is another of the many Sixers WBBL players who have progressed through the Cricket NSW Pathway.

Before she reached her 16th birthday, Silver-Holmes had already been on tours of South Africa and New Zealand with the Female Australian Under 19 team, touring with Sixers teammates Stella Campbell and wicketkeeper-batter Maddy Darke.

The teenager has signed with the Sixers until the end of WBBL|07.

We look forward to the continuing development of this exciting allrounder in WBBL|06!
