Heather Louise Graham (born 5 October 1996) is an Australian cricketer who plays for Tasmania, Hobart Hurricanes, Northern Superchargers and Mumbai Indians.[1]

Domestic career[edit]

In November 2018, she was named in the Perth Scorchers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[2][3] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract with the National Performance Squad ahead of the 2019–20 season.[4][5] In 2020, Graham moved to the Tasmanian Tigers so she could spend more time with her partner, all-rounder Emily Smith, who had moved to Tasmania in the previous season.[6]

In 2021, she was drafted by Trent Rockets for the inaugural season of The Hundred.[7] In November 2021, Graham reached 2 milestones in the Women's Big Bash League, during the same game against Sydney Sixers, she had scored 1000 runs and taken 100 wickets in her WBBL career.

International career[edit]

In August 2019, Graham was named in Australia's squad for their series against the West Indies.[8][9] The following month, Graham was again named in Australia's squad, this time for their series against Sri Lanka.[10] She made her Women's One Day International (WODI) debut for Australia, against Sri Lanka, on 7 October 2019.[11]

In January 2022, Graham was named in Australia's A squad for their series against England A, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes.[12] The following month, Graham was named as a reserve in Australia's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, replacing Hannah Darlington.[13] Graham was eventually added to Australia's squad for the World Cup as a temporary replacement for Ashleigh Gardner, after Gardner gave a positive test for COVID-19.[14]

In July 2022, Graham was added to Australia's Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) squad for the 2022 Ireland women's Tri-Nation Series.[15]
