Player Story
Alana King first hit the scene as a promising young leg-spinner with the ability to find big turn, and her improvement across all levels of Victorian cricket saw her join the VicSpirit squad for the first time in 2016-17.
Representing Victoria at an under-15s and under-18s level, King went on to earn a spot in the Melbourne Stars WBBL team for it’s inaugural season.
Eyeing higher honours, King worked tirelessly to improve her game - including moving states to Western Australia for greater opportunity - and it paid off with a breakout WBBL|06 campaign for the Stars that landed her a spot in the team of the tournament.
King then embarked on a 2021-22 summer that was the stuff of dreams. First she helped lead new WBBL club Perth Scorchers to the WBBL|07 title, before earning her first call-up to the Australian squad for the Ashes.
She debuted in all three formats in the space of three weeks, going on to be an integral part of Australia's triumphant 50-over World Cup campaign in New Zealand.
