New Zealand batswoman Hayley Jensen has tied to knot with uncapped Australian cricketer Nicola Hancock in a same-sex marriage last weekend. This is the fourth high-profile same-sex marriage in cricket.
Last year South Africa women's team captain Dane van Niekerk and teammate Marizanne Kapp tied the knot. Before that New Zealand cricketers -- Amy Satterthwaite and Lea Tahuhu -- have got married. In March, England woman cricketer Megan Schutt got married to her long-time partner Jess Holyoake.
Congratulating the newly-weds, Women바카라™s Big Bash team Melbourne Stars took to Twitter and shared a beautiful photo from the wedding ceremony.
Jensen is an all-rounder. The 26-year-old has played 8 WODIs and 20 WT20Is. She played for Melbourne Renegades in Women바카라™s Big Bash. Jensen won the Una Paisley medal as the best player in the Victoria Women바카라™s Premier Cricket competition for the 2017-18 season.
She made her international debut for the White Ferns in 2014 and became the first ever female to score a century for the Melbourne Cricket Club when she struck 122 against Prahran in March 2015.
Nicola Hancock, 23, has represented Australia at underage level, and was Melbourne Stars' second-highest wicket-taker (13 wickets from 14 matches) in the recent WBL.
For the uninitiated, same-sex marriage is legal in New Zealand since 19 August 2013. A bill for legalisation was passed by the New Zealand House of Representatives on 17 April 2013.
