This week on She’s in the Game, we’re bringing you another refreshing redemption episode — and it’s Han’s turn in the hot seat.
From bursting onto the scene with the Sydney Thunder to captaining her WBBL side as a teenager, Han’s journey has been full of growth, grit, and heart. As an Indigenous role model and thoughtful voice in the game, she’s someone who continues to inspire on and off the field.
We first shared Han’s story back in our very first episode, but this time, we’re diving deeper — reflecting on what’s changed, what she’s learned, and how she’s evolved since then.
We discuss the upcoming ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, highlighting key teams, players, and the impact of home conditions. Delving into the notable absence of the West Indies, the excitement surrounding increased prize money, and the fitness levels of various squads. Also covering covering the strengths and weaknesses of teams like Australia, England, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as predictions for the tournament.
This week on She’s in the Game, we thought it was time for a refresh and a bit of redemption. Our very first episodes were us interviewing each other, but we knew our stories deserved another go — with the podcast now in full swing.
So today, it’s Maitlan’s turn.
From her early days with the ACT Meteors and Melbourne Renegades to finding her way home with the NSW Breakers and Sydney Sixers, Maitlan has always brought serious heat on the field. But it’s off the field where her personality shines just as brightly — whether it’s her quick wit, endless list of hobbies, creativity and DIY projects, or her work in design. She’s proof that athletes can bring both style and substance, on and off the pitch.

Off the field, Claire’s Western Sydney roots shine through, and her fun-loving alter ego Crystal is never far away. We chat about her pathway, the highs and challenges of elite cricket, and of course, a little bit about Crystal’s love for the spotlight and a boogie.
