A teenage sensation is joining the Hobart Hurricanes.

Thirteen-year-old Mia Barwick has been parachuted into the T20 Spring Challenge squad after Heather Graham was called into Australia’s team at the ICC Women’s T20 Women’s World Cup.

A talented pace bowler, Barwick is a star of the North Hobart Cricket Club and has represented Tasmania at the national under-16 and 19 national championships.
