Grace Harris

Grace Margaret Harris (born 18 September 1993) is an Australian cricketer.[1] In June 2015, she was named as replacement for Delissa Kimmince in the T20I squad who was unable to recover from a lower back issue and made her T20I debut against the Ireland Women as the part of Australian women's cricket team in England and Ireland in 2015.[2] In December 2015, she made an eye-catching 103 in just 55 balls, and also took four wickets, for Brisbane Heat against Sydney Sixers, thus drawing much early attention to the first season of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).[3]
