Phoebe Litchfield has been named the captain of Sydney Thunder for the upcoming season of WBBL. She has now become the youngest full-time captain in WBBL history. Phoebe Litchfield has been one of the solid pillars in Australian team, having made her Test, T20 and ODI debuts. Litchfiled made her Thunder debut when she was 16-year-old.
"It's a huge honour to be named captain of Sydney Thunder. I've grown up playing for this club and learning from some incredible leaders, so to now have the opportunity to lead such a talented group of players is really exciting,” Litchfiled said.
"We've got a great mix of experience and young raw talent, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge of captaining the side this season."
Thunder general manager Trent Copeland highlighted Litchfield’s leadership abilities. During the last season, Litchfield racked up 309 runs at 130.37.

"We've seen Phoebe thrive under pressure, whether it's for Australia in the World Cup or in key moments for Thunder. She's a great leader, both by character and by example, and we are excited to see her step into this role."
