Ahead of the 2026 season of The Hundred, Trent Rockets have announced the signing of Australian all-rounder, Kim Garth. The Rockets had a decent run in the 2025 season as they finished in 4th place in the league table. Kim Garth has been a promising name in The Hundred, last season featuring for Manchester Originals, as she bowled at a decent economical rate in the tournament. Trent Rockets will be looking to tighten their batting unit with the addition of Kim Garth to their setup.
Garth has featured in only 7 matches in the Hundred and she played for the Manchester Originals. She picked up 4 wickets from her 7 innings at an economy of 7. Her best figures in the tournament are 2/17 and she is widely regarded for her ability to pick wickets. The Hundred is a challenging format that requires bowlers to be economical as well as pick wickets in different phases of the game to break the flow of the batting side and Kim Garth would fit into that role perfectly well.
In her T20I career, she has picked up 49 wickets from 53 innings at an economy of 6. She has also scored 764 runs from 47 innings including a half-century. She has been an important all-rounder for the Australian national side with her ability to contribute with the ball predominantly. She has excellent variations and she keeps her lengths consistently good, which constantly troubles the batter.
Garth has featured in several global cricket franchise leagues across the world including the Women’s Premier League, Women’s Big Bash League and Super Smash. In the 2025/26 WBBL season, she played for the Melbourne Stars, and she picked up 14 wickets from 11 innings at an economy of just 7.52. In a match against the Sydney Thunder, she scalped 4 wickets from just 2 overs to trigger a batting collapse for the opposition.
In the WPL, she played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 2024/25 season, and she picked up 8 wickets from 8 innings at an economy of 8.05. Garth is a widely experienced player who has played all across the world and she has the ability to adapt to pitch conditions very quickly. She can also provide some support with the bat as well late in the innings, and she can anchor the innings or hold her wicket at one end.
Garth could be a great signing for Trent Rockets as she has already proved her versatility as an all-rounder. She brings a wealth of experience from major global franchise cricket leagues like the WPL and WBBL, where she was excellent with the bowl and also had some decent contributions with the bat in hand. Her proven ability to perform under pressure will add plenty of confidence to the bowling and batting unit of the side.
