Chamari signs deal with Sydney Thunder for 3 seasons
Sydney Thunder have secured Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu’s services for the next three seasons via a pre-draft signing ahead WBBL 2024-25, which is set to begin on October 27.
Athapaththu, who played for Thunder last season as an undrafted player, filled the fourth overseas slot on their roster.
She finished the season with a Player-of-the-Tournament performance in Thunder’s fourth-place finish, scoring 552 runs at 42.46 and taking nine wickets.
“Committing to Sydney Thunder for the next three seasons was an easy decision because I believe in the vision of this club, and I want to be part of its future success,” Athapaththu said.
