CRICKET – Ash Barty (pictured) has made a bright start to her cricket career with the Brisbane Heat despite her side going down to the Melbourne Stars by 20 runs.
Batting at No.6 for the Heat, the former tennis star cracked an enterprising 39 off just 27 balls at Junction Oval on Saturday.
Barty is still involved in tennis as a coach and says while shes happy playing cricket, the door remains open for a return to tennis in the future.
