Team Kookaburra player and Australian star Rachael Haynes will be an ambassador for the partnership.
“Kookaburra had led the industry in its sponsorship of elite female players in Australia and around the globe and has been a leader in instituting gender-neutral sizes for grassroots cricket to make the cricket experience more inclusive for young girls, ” Haynes said.
