Georgia Redmayne has signed up for a mid-season stint with South East Stars.

The Australian wicketkeeper-batter will join up with the Stars ahead of their Charlotte Edwards Cup fixture against Sunrisers on June 15 and will remain with the team until July 14.

In total, she will be available for three T20s and four Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy matches, as well as Charlotte Edwards Cup finals day if Stars qualify.

Redmayne has scored 2,658 runs at 51.11 in 66 List A appearances and a further 2,731 runs, including 17 half-centuries, in 124 T20s.

During the 2023/24 season, she scored 354 runs and completed 14 dismissals behind the stumps as Brisbane Heat reached the WBBL final and also captained Queensland to the final of the Women's National Cricket League.

"I am very excited to have been asked to play for the Stars – I've been following their season closely and have been impressed by their dynamic style of play as one of the leading teams in the competition," said Redmayne, who has previously represented Worcestershire in the Women's County Championship (2012) and Welsh Fire.

"I'm very grateful to be given another opportunity to play in English conditions and hope I can contribute positively to the team's success on and off the field."

Regional director of women's cricket, Emma Calvert, added: "Georgia is a vastly experienced professional, who has consistently delivered for the teams she has been a part of. She is a match-winner with the bat and adds depth to our wicketkeeping options.

"Georgia has an exemplary knowledge of the game, and her addition will be of great value to us on the field and in the dressing room. I look forward to seeing her in Stars’ colours."
