In addition to her Test double hundred, Perry scored 138 runs and claimed 10 wickets in the multi-format Ashes campaign.
Meanwhile, Tasmanian and Hobart Hurricanes wicketkeeper, and Australia A representative Georgia Redmayne is the Betty Wilson Young Women's Cricketer of the Year.

Redmayne's strong domestic summer in 2016-17 was enough to see her earn selection in the Australia A tour of Sri Lanka last April and represent a CA XI in a tour game against England last November.
Redmayne scored 278 runs during WBBL|02 as the Hurricanes made the semi-finals for the second year running, and completed 12 dismissals behind the stumps.
She then started the 2017-18 WNCL season on a promising note, scoring 89 against Western Australia.
