Mikayla Hinkley

My sport allows me to express who I am. Cricket isn’t who I am, it’s what I do but I have the opportunity to be who I am through what I do and that’s pretty awesome. I’m passionate, competitive and love learning, that definitely comes out on the cricket field. I love being part of a team, I love sharing experiences with other people, it creates a real powerful connection and sense of belonging when you’ve got a whole team of people around you who have the same motivation and determination as yourself. My goal is to keep learning and inspiring. That’s what being a female athlete over the past decade has been all about and I’ve learnt so much from all of the ups and downs, I’d never change any of my experiences and I hope I continue to grow and learn and hopefully inspire others in the process.

She debuted with the NSW Breakers in 2016, before joining Queensland ahead of the 2019–20 WNCL season.
