Brooke Louise Hepburn (born 19 April 1990) is an Australian former cricketer who played for Tasmanian Tigers and Hobart Hurricanes.[1]
Born in Launceston, Hepburn did not begin playing cricket until she was 19 years old. Just one year later, the Tasmanian Roar gave her a Rookie contract for the 2010–11 season. She has said that "Although I missed out on playing underage cricket for Tassie, I got plenty of competitive bowling practice in the backyard against my older (and very competitive!) sister!"[2]
From May to August 2015, Hepburn played in Ireland for Scorchers in the Women's Super 3s, a competition involving both 50 over and T20 matches.[3]
At the start of the 2016–17 season, Hepburn was appointed vice-captain of Tasmanian Roar. According to Roar coach
Hepburn was part of the Hurricanes squad for its inaugural WBBL|01 season (2015–16).[6] A highlight of that season for the Hurricanes was her 2–17 against the Melbourne Stars.[7] She was also a member of the Hurricanes squad for the WBBL|02 season (2016–17).[8] In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[9][10]
On 11 June 2021, it was confirmed that Hepburn had retired from cricket.[11]
Outside of cricket, Hepburn works as a Dietitian for Leap Health and the Tasmanian Institute of Sport.[2]
