Australian batter Katie Mack re-joins Lancashire Women
Lancashire Cricket is delighted to announce the return of Australian batter Katie Mack who will re-join the Club on an overseas contract for the start of the 2025 season.
Mack enjoyed a successful spell at Emirates Old Trafford last summer and will return on a multi-format contract until the beginning of June.
The 31-year-old will be available for Lancashire Women’s first eight matches of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup and the first three matches of the Club’s Vitality Blast campaign.
In last summer’s Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy (50-over), Mack played nine matches for the Red Rose and scored 324 runs at an average of 40.50, including a century against Northern Diamonds at Emirates old Trafford. She also played four matches in the Charlotte Edwards Cup (T20).
Mack plays for Adelaide Strikers in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) and is a talented opener – who also bats at three - for ACT Meteors in the Women’s National Cricket League 50-over competition.
She is the most prolific WBBL run scorer in Adelaide's current squad with more than 2,500 runs, including 196 at an average of 22 in the most recent edition of the competition.
Speaking about making the move back to Lancashire, Katie Mack said: “I am really excited to head back to Emirates Old Trafford again this summer and link up with Lancashire Women once again.
“I enjoyed my time with the squad a lot last summer and I hope that I can come straight back in, hit the ground running, and score some important runs with the bat.
“My aim is to help Lancashire make a strong start in both competitions as the Red Rose begin life in the new Tier 1 era for women’s cricket in England.”
Commenting on the news, Lancashire Women’s Head Coach Chris Read said: “We are really pleased to welcome Katie back to the Club for the start of the 2025 season.
“As demonstrated last summer, Katie adds a huge amount of experience to our squad and lots of talent at the top of the order.
“We were hugely impressed by her performances last summer and look forward to welcoming her back into the fold ahead of the start of the Metro Bank One Day Cup.”
