Katelyn Fryett (born 28 May 1992) is an Australian cricketer who plays for Tasmanian Roar and Hobart Hurricanes as a pace bowler.[1]
Born in Launceston[2] and raised in Bracknell, Tasmania,[3] Fryett played backyard cricket with her brother Brad, and would bowl to him a lot.[4] As a junior cricketer, she played for her school, and also with the local under-16 boys’ team.[4] She began her interstate cricket career by playing for several seasons in Tasmanian underage and Cricket Australia Cup teams.[5] In 2008 and again in 2009, she was named Tasmania's top female cricketer.[6]
At the start of the 2009–10 season, Fryett made her debut for Tasmanian Roar at the age of 17 years, when the Roar joined the domestic WNCL competition.[2] In December 2009, she became the Roar's first national representative, upon being named in the Shooting Stars national development squad as a replacement for Ellyse Perry, who had commitments to her W-league soccer team.[7]
In 2013, Fryett was omitted from the Shooting Stars squad,[8] but at the end of the 2013–14 season, she secured a Shooting Stars contract after taking nine wickets in six of that season's WNCL matches at an average of 25.44.[9][10]
Fryett experienced another setback early in the 2014–15 season, when a knee injury caused her to miss a round of WNCL matches against Queensland Fire.[11] However, the injury turned out to be not as serious as first thought.[12]
The following summer, Fryett was part of the Hurricanes squad for its inaugural WBBL|01 season (2015–16),[13] during which she took two wickets.[2] She remained in the squad for the WBBL|02 season (2016–17).[14] During the Australian winter of 2017, she played cricket in Ireland with the support of an Adam Gilchrist Scholarship, funded by the Lord's Taverners.[4] She then rejoined the Roar and the Hurricanes for the 2016–17 season.[4]
Fryett also plays netball for the Arrows team in Tasmania's ANZ State League.[5]
