The Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC) is delighted to announce the signing of Dutch international Sterre Kalis on an initial three-year contract for Yorkshire Women.
The classy batter has played for the Northern Diamonds for the last five seasons and was part of the team which won the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy title at Lord’s in 2022.
Kalis has experience of playing domestic cricket all over the world, from playing in all editions of the Hundred to playing professional state and club cricket in Australia, as she will do this winter with Sydney club Gordon.

“I feel at home here, and I love the people here. This club has been really good for me from the very beginning, and I can’t wait for that to continue.
