Lisa Keightley signs new two-year deal with Sydney Thunder
Sydney Thunder have secured the services of head coach Lisa Keightley for another two years as they continue their pursuit of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) success. Keightley has been at the helm of the Thunder for the past three seasons. During her tenure, the side has become quite competitive, reaching the Eliminator in 2023 before making it to the Challenger in 2024. However, the team endured a disappointing 2025 campaign, finishing seventh in the standings.
Keightley carries vast experience as she continues to be a prominent presence in franchise cricket around the world. She currently serves as head coach of Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL) and also leads MI London in the women's Hundred competition. Meanwhile, Keightley expressed her excitement over joining the club for two more seasons.
I'm really excited to be staying with Sydney Thunder for another two years. We've got the talent that can make us a title-winning side. Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll have both been outstanding for Australia recently, and they bring real firepower to our batting group. We saw Tahlia Wilson make her international debut for Australia off the back of another great year. Anika Learoyd had a very impressive season, and our young guns showed promising signs for the future, including Lucy Finn, who had some stand-out performances in her debut season," Keightley said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
"Last season was obviously disappointing from an on-field perspective. We know we have a much better performance in us, and we will be pushing ourselves to get back into genuine contention," she added.
