Keightley signs two-year Sydney Thunder extension, WPL role uncertain
Keightley extends with Sydney Thunder for two years while her WPL future with Mumbai Indians remains unclear.
Former Australia head coach Shelley Keightley has signed a two-year extension to remain head coach of Sydney Thunder. She will continue in the role despite uncertainty over her future with Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League.
ESPNcricinfo reported the development on Friday. Keightley was appointed to a Cricket Australia development role while Thunder confirmed her continued presence at the club.
The dual commitment leaves her WPL position with Mumbai Indians in doubt. No official confirmation has been issued by the franchise on whether she will return for the next season.
CricHubb Take
The extension locks Thunder's direction for two seasons, which means any WPL move by Keightley would require a negotiated release rather than a natural contract end.
