After all the excitement of last night's awards ceremony, we are pleased to announce the Hurricanes Award winners from the 2025–26 Cricket Tasmania Awards. A full write-up of medal finalists can be found here.
Congratulations to the following winners:
BBL15 Player of the Year
RISHAD HOSSAIN
In his first year in purple, Bangladeshi leg-spinner Rishad Hossain had a breakout season. After being drafted by the Hurricanes in BBL|14 and unable to play, 15 wickets in his first year of the Big Bash was a great return. Rishad led all Hurricanes players in the wicket-taking column and was often used early, straight out of the Powerplay, playing a key role for the ’Canes. He had best figures of 3–26 against the Strikers.
WBBL11 Player of the Year
DANNI WYATT-HODGE
In her second year playing in Hobart, Danni Wyatt-Hodge played an important role in delivering the Hurricanes their first-ever WBBL title. Opening the batting alongside Lizelle Lee, the pair would often get the ’Canes off to a flyer, combining for 432 runs across 11 innings at an average of 48.00, as Wyatt-Hodge dominated bowlers throughout the season. She scored four half-centuries across the tournament and only trailed Meg Lanning for the most runs in the entire WBBL.
