Ni Made Putri Suwandewi, a 26-year-old fast bowler known as Tori, signed with the Perth Scorchers.


Although cricket is a newly developing sport in Indoneisa, Tori believes the sport will become more popular after herself taking on as a new women's group in her hometown, which changed the narrative of the sport.

Indonesian Consul General for Western Australia Ms. LISTIANA OPERANANTA in her comments stated that she was proud of this promotion.
