Lisa Keightley replaces Dani Hazell as Superchargers coach for the Women’s Hundred for the upcoming 2025 season.
Lisa Keightley is the new head coach of the Northern Superchargers women’s team.
Dani Hazell, who has been with Superchargers for four years and is leaving at the conclusion of her contract, is replaced by Keightley, who led the England Women’s team from 2019 to 2022.
“The opportunity to be Head Coach of Northern Superchargers is a huge honour,” she said, “and I’m excited to build on the solid foundations laid over the past four years. The Hundred has been a game-changer. It has consequently provided the women’s game with a brilliant platform and giving players the stage they deserve to showcase their skills.
“Headingley has been a shining example of how fans have embraced this exciting competition, and I’m really looking forward to being there next year. Our goal as a team is to win the competition, and with the core squad we’re working to retain before Deadline Day, alongside the players we’ll recruit through the Hundred Draft, I’m confident we have the potential to achieve that.”
Keightley presently coaches the Delhi Capitals in the WPL and is the head coach of the Sydney Thunder in the WBBL. She was the first woman to strike a century at Lord’s and represented Australia in nine Test matches and eighty-two one-day internationals.
Sanjay Patel, Yorkshire’s interim CEO, says “We are happy to welcome Lisa to the Northern Superchargers. With her extensive experience in both international and franchise women’s cricket, Lisa will play a key role in giving us the best chance to succeed and win the competition in 2025. We are excited to work with her as we look to promote a positive, entertaining, and winning brand of cricket across our teams.
“I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dani for her invaluable contributions over the past four years with Northern Superchargers Women. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours.”
Northern Superchargers Chair, Kirsty Bashforth, said: “We’re excited for the next chapter as we enter the fifth year of the competition. This milestone brings international experience and new opportunities for growth. We consequently look forward to seeing each team evolve and enhance the competition.”
