Jonassen and Wyatt-Hodge ruled out of WBBL|12 with injuries

Jess Jonassen and Danni Wyatt-Hodge have been ruled out of the upcoming WBBL season. Jonassen will miss the entire season with a hip complaint, while Wyatt-Hodge sustained a calf injury.

Jonassen, Brisbane Heat's most-capped women's player, last played on October 1 in the WNCL. She said the plan is to return for the 2027 WNCL season after a period of recovery.

Wyatt-Hodge was Hobart Hurricanes' leading run-scorer in their title-winning WBBL|11 campaign. Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu has been signed as her replacement.
