"There's a new division three coming out and that's taking on up-and-coming youth," she said.

"(I'd like to play) division three for starters and it would just be good to get into the club and see how it all goes."

The Warrnambool College student is a spin bowler and middle order batter who is eager to return to group training with her teammates after months of lockdown.
