Former Australian Shooting Stars squad member Rebecca Maher made her debut for the Meteors in the WNCL in November 2014, but she was no stranger to the ACT.
The wicketkeeper had previously played for the ACT women's team in the second-tier CA Cup, before taking a break from cricket.
After five years playing with the Queanbeyan Whites in women's rugby union - as well as representing the ACT in the sport - she decided to make a return to cricket after a stint with club North Canberra.
Maher grew up in the Riverina region of NSW and moved to Canberra when she was 17.
