21. Ellie Johnston - Brisbane Heat WBBL & QLD Fire Cricketer
Hard hitting Brisbane Heat and Qld Fire cricketer Ellie Johnston burst onto the scene in October 2022, with a devastating WBBL half century which propelled her side to victory against the Melbourne Stars. Still a teenager at the time, that innings saw her marked as one to watch, as she continues to develop her game and receive additional opportunities on the big stage.
On the eve of the 2023-24 Australian domestic cricket season, the rising star shares the unlikely story of how she started playing the game, what it's like playing with some of her heroes and just how far women's sport has come in recent years. She also speaks about the special bond she has with fellow state squad member Ruth - who happens to be her cousin - and the importance of her faith as a professional athlete.
