Former Australian captain Lisa Sthalekar tweeted: “This such amazing news … yippee.”

English cricketer Alexandra Hartley posted: “Stop it!!! Congratulations both of you.”

Cricket reporter Adam Collins tweeted: “Wonderful!!!! Congratulations!!!!”

New Zealand vice-captain Amy Satterthwaite commented: “Congrats guys!! So excited for you.”

Schutt and Holyoake married in March 2019, with the South Australian pace bowler calling it the “best day of my life”.

“Saying ‘partner’ is nice, but when having to explain that it’s a woman a lot of the time I think that often gets a reaction, which isn’t quite comfortable,” Schutt said in 2019.

“Now we’re able to (just) say wife, flat out, and people know that’s the deal.”

Best day of my life. My heart is so full. I am a lucky woman â¤ï¸ Mrs and Mrs Schutt ðŸ’ðŸ¼ #Scholyoakewedding #loveislove #morephotostocome
