Surrey have signed Australian international Grace Harris for their inaugural Women’s Vitality Blast 2025 campaign.
The Aussie all-rounder becomes the first overseas women’s player to represent the Club in the new era of women’s cricket. Harris will join up with the squad ahead of Surrey’s first Vitality Blast home game against Hampshire on the 5th June at the Kia Oval.
This first fully-professional international signing falls hand in hand with what is set to be a historical summer of cricket with the Three Feathers and will be available until the end of the T20 competition.
The right-handed all-rounder is renowned for her fast-scoring, power-hitting with an ability to score all round the wicket. Her innovative approach to batting and shot selection has seen her score over 4,500 T20 runs, a career best of 136 not out, and 51 WIT20 caps.
Harris has been a part of several major franchise tournaments, representing UP Warriorz since their inaugural WPL season, London Spirit in The Hundred, and both Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat in the WBBL.
Emma Calvert, Surrey’s Director of Women’s Cricket, said “We are incredibly excited to be able to announce Grace as our first overseas signing for our newly professional Surrey women’s team.
“Grace brings international and franchise experience which we believe will really add value to our squad both on and off the pitch. She plays exactly the style of cricket we look to play and I can’t wait to see her wearing the three feathers at the Kia Oval this summer.”
Speaking about the move Grace Harris said “I can’t wait to take to the pitch with the team at Surrey and the Kia Oval. The Club has shown a strong commitment to the women’s side and I know the team have been preparing hard over the winter.
“I’m really looking forward to contributing to the team and making the most of my time with them.”
