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]

Early life

[edit]

Kimmince was born and raised in Warwick, Queensland attending Warwick State High School.[5]

Cricket

[edit]

Kimmince made her debut for Queensland aged 17[6] 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,[7] during which time Kimmince moved to London and worked in the Princess Louise pub in Holborn.[8] 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.[8]

Kimmince returned to state cricket for the 2012–13 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.[9]

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.[10]

In October 2015, Kimmince assumed the captaincy of Queensland Fire, replacing Jodie Fields, who was recovering from shoulder surgery.[11] Soon afterwards, Kimmince became the inaugural captain of Brisbane Heat,[12] but in January 2017, she stepped down from that role and was replaced by Kirby Short.[13]

In April 2018, she was one of the fourteen players to be awarded a national contract for the 2018–19 season by Cricket Australia.[14] In October 2018, she was named in Australia's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[15][16]

In November 2018, she was named in Brisbane Heat's squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[17][18] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract ahead of the 2019–20 season.[19][20]

In June 2019, Cricket Australia named her in Australia's team for their tour to England to contest the Women's Ashes.[21][22] 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.[23] In January 2020, she was named in Australia's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[24]

Australian rules football

[edit]

On 26 September 2016, Kimmince was announced as the Brisbane Lions' second rookie signing for the inaugural AFL Women's (AFLW) season in 2017.[25] She made her AFLW debut for Brisbane in their Round 6, 2017 clash with the Western Bulldogs.[26] At the end of the 2017 season, she was delisted by the Lions.[27]

Personal life

[edit]

Kimmince became engaged to her Brisbane Heat teammate Laura Harris in November 2019, after dating Harris for four years.[6][28] They married in Marburg, Queensland in August 2020.[29]
