Nicole Bolton, the former Australian opener, is all set to join the us ahead of the 2025 Women’s Premier League in the role of Mumbai Indians’ Fielding Coach, as part of the coaching unit under Head Coach, Charlotte Edwards.
In a career spanning from 2014 to 2019, Nicole was a mainstay in the Aussie batting lineup, and has played 50 ODIs, three Tests, and two T20Is. She holds the record for being the first Australian woman to score a century on ODI debut, and the first woman of any nationality to score such a century against a full ICC member team.
Her coaching credentials include stints as the Assistant Coach for South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers in the WBBL. Welcome to the Blue and Gold, Nicole!
We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Lydia Greenway for the endless throws and strategies at the fielding sessions over the last two seasons. Go well, Lydia!
Mumbai Indians’ campaign in the third season of the WPL begins on February 15 against the Delhi Capitals in Vadodara. Join us in welcoming Nicole into the #OneFamily as we gear up to repeat 2023.
