New Zealand batter Suzie Bates has signed with Hobart Hurricanes as she is all set to play for the team for the first time in WBBL. Suzie Bates has been signed as an overseas replacement for the last three games of the tournament, including finals should Hobart Hurricanes qualify. Suzie Bates has played for Adelaide Strikers, Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers across 100 WBBL matches in the tournament. 

Suzie Bates has been roped in as a replacement for Danni Wyatt-Hodge. Danni Wyatt is expected to be available for England on their tour of South Africa. 

"Bringing Suzie into our WBBL squad just made sense as soon as we saw she was not selected in the draft, we thought she would be the perfect replacement for Danni once we knew her availability," Beams said.

"She provides more than 130 games of T20I cricket [167] and will give us an experienced operator when we lose someone of Danni's ability in our line-up."

Hobart Hurricanes squad: Suzie Bates (overseas), Nicola Carey, Heather Graham, Ruth Johnston, Lizelle Lee (overseas), Hayley Silver-Holmes, Tabatha Saville, Amy Smith, Lauren Smith, Molly Strano, Rachel Trenaman, Chloe Tryon (overseas), Elyse Villani, Callie Wilson, Danni Wyatt-Hodge (overseas)
