Delissa Maree Kimmince (born 14 May 1989) is an Australian former cricketer and Australian rules footballer[1] who played for the national cricket team as an all-rounder. She is a right-handed batter and right-arm fast-medium bowler who played for Queensland Fire in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) and the Brisbane Heat in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).[2][3] In April 2021, Kimmince announced her retirement from top-level cricket.[4]
Cricket[]
Kimmince made her debut for Queensland aged 17[5] and her debut for Australia aged 18 against New Zealand in March 2008. The following year, she played in the Women's Cricket World Cup, but she then took a long break from cricket,[6] during which time Kimmince moved to London and worked in the Princess Louise pub in Holborn.[7] During this time, Kimmince was talked into playing for Warwickshire and took a three-hour train journey each way to matches each week without attending training.[7]
Kimmince returned to state cricket for the 2012–3 season, and in 2014 returned to playing for Australia, playing in the ICC World T20 tournament in Bangladesh, and in a series against Pakistan at home.[8]
In June 2015, Kimmince was named as one of Australia's touring party for the 2015 Women's Ashes in England, as a Twenty20 specialist. However, she was later ruled out due to a lower back issue.[9]
In October 2015, Kimmince assumed the captaincy of Queensland Fire, replacing Jodie Fields, who was recovering from shoulder surgery.[10] Soon afterwards, Kimmince became the inaugural captain of Brisbane Heat,[11] but in January 2017, she stepped down from that role and was replaced by Kirby Short.[12]
In April 2018, she was one of the fourteen players to be awarded a national contract for the 2018–19 season by Cricket Australia.[13] In October 2018, she was named in Australia's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[14][15]
In November 2018, she was named in Brisbane Heat's squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[16][17] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract ahead of the 2019–20 season.[18][19]
In June 2019, Cricket Australia named her in Australia's team for their tour to England to contest the Women's Ashes.[20][21] On 4 July 2019, in the second Women's One Day International (WODI) match of the Women's Ashes, Kimmince took her first five-wicket haul in WODIs.[22] In January 2020, she was named in Australia's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[23]
Australian rules football[]
On 26 September 2016, Kimmince was announced as the Brisbane Lions' second rookie signing for the inaugural AFL Women's (AFLW) season in 2017.[24] She made her AFLW debut for Brisbane in their Round 6, 2017 clash with the Western Bulldogs.[25] At the end of the 2017 season, she was delisted by the Lions.[26]
Personal life[]
Kimmince became engaged to her Brisbane Heat teammate Laura Harris in November 2019, after dating Harris for four years.[5][27] They married in Marburg, Queensland in August 2020.[28]
