Rishad Hossain & Danni Wyatt-Hodge win Hurricanes Players of the Year

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.
