Brisbane Heat coach Mark Sorell welcomed the surety that Redmayne’s signing provides for the club.

“Georgia is the heart of the team in many ways,’’ he said.

“She’s an international class player as a wicket-keeper and top order batter, and her competitiveness and desire for success drives us in the right direction,’’ he said.

“Her batting is highly important for us, both as an individual and in building partnerships as we move through key areas of the innings. 

“With her and ‘JJ’ (Jess Jonassen), Grace Harris and Jemimah Rodrigues, we are agile in how we can assess situations, formulate a plan, and take advantage of what lies ahead when it comes to setting or chasing targets.”

Redmayne’s updated deal came as the Brisbane Heat launched its Membership campaign today, with the announcement that internationally renowned family holiday brand, Royal Caribbean had signed a two-year sponsorship as the Official Holiday Partner and Membership Partner of the club.
