Brother: Jordan Wareham
Georgia Wareham is a highly skilled leg-spinner from Australia who has established herself as a world-class bowler in the shortest formats while developing into a genuine all-round threat. The 27-year-old from Terang, Victoria, grew up idolizing fellow Victorian Shane Warne and has since become a World Cup hero in her own right, playing pivotal roles in Australia’s T20 World Cup triumphs in 2018 and 2020. Her leg-spin variations and big-match temperament have made her Australia’s first-choice spinner in white-ball cricket, with 81 wickets in 82 T20Is at an outstanding average of 16.02. Wareham’s career has not been without setbacks—a ruptured ACL while fielding in the WBBL kept her out of international cricket for 18 months—but she returned with characteristic resilience, taking 3 for 20 in her comeback match against Bangladesh. Her batting has developed significantly, with a maiden international fifty in a T20I against Bangladesh and impressive WBBL performances where she was Melbourne Renegades’ third-highest run-scorer in 2023-24. Inspired by her childhood hero and forged through years of playing men’s cricket in her hometown, Wareham continues to be an integral part of Australia’s dominant women’s team.
