an unbeaten 150 from 75 balls against the Scorchers at the SCG<\/a>, which remains a WBBL record, also becoming the first player to hit consecutive hundreds in the T20 competition.<\/p>\nEarlier this season, the spectacled opener also came within touching distance of posting the highest individual score in WNCL, cracking 187 from 141 balls against Victoria in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last few months have been probably one of the best I\u2019ve had,\u201d Lee told reporters in November.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully that can continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having moved permanently to Hobart with her wife Tanja in 2022, Lee acquired Australian permanent resident status last year, making her eligible to represent Tasmania as a local player.<\/p>\n
However, the powerful right-hander brushed aside questions about a potential Australian call-up, arguing the likes of New South Wales\u2019 Tahlia Wilson and Victoria\u2019s Nicole Faltum were more deserving.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s something (the Australian selectors) would look at,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 33 years old, and they have such good talent in this country.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have so many young players coming through, I don\u2019t think it would be very clever looking at somebody like me.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to go for talent that you have in your country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mooney is the leading candidate to don the gloves following Healy\u2019s retirement, having already fulfilled the task in the national side across formats, while young opener Georgia Voll is expected to open the batting during Australia\u2019s upcoming T20 series against India.<\/p>\n
Australia only has six 20-over matches scheduled before the T20 World Cup kicks off in the United Kingdom in June, with the powerhouse team hoping to reclaim the title they lost in 2024.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Lee dreams of travelling to Los Angeles in 2028 for the Olympics \u2013 but not as a player, as an umpire.<\/p>\n
She has ambitions of becoming a top international umpire, having already officiated matches in Tasmanian Premier Cricket and the Female Under-19 National Championships.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to take away my cricket, because I still feel like there\u2019s a lot in me, but I would not mind being one of the top international umpires,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something that I really want to do \u2013 and who doesn\u2019t want to go to the Olympics, it doesn\u2019t matter what you\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2032, there\u2019s a Brisbane one, so fingers crossed maybe if I\u2019m done playing by then, hopefully I can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
