In a surprising turn of events, England international cricketer Danielle Wyatt has decided to withdraw from the Perth Scorchers‘ squad for the upcoming Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL|09) season, citing fatigue as the primary reason for her decision. Wyatt, who was an integral part of the Scorchers’ plans for the season, had been selected with Pick 11 (Gold) in the inaugural WBBL Draft, making her withdrawal a significant setback for the team.

The news of Wyatt’s withdrawal was conveyed to the Scorchers’ management, who expressed understanding and support for her decision to prioritize her well-being. Fatigue and the rigors of continuous international cricket had taken a toll on the player, prompting her to step back from competitive action temporarily.
