Scoop Podcast: Jess Jonassen on deck in Stellenbosch

The Australian women's team have landed in picturesque Stellenbosch ahead of their quest for a third straight T20 World Cup title and joining the Scoop Podcast to update us all is spinner Jess Jonassen. 

Fresh from walking the blue carpet with budding media star and Woolworths Cricket Blaster of the Year Mabel Tovey, Jess joins hosts Emily Collin and Laura Jolly to chat about the team's adventure up Table Mountain as well as give a comprehensive review of Australia's warm-up win over India. 

With the WPL fast approaching, Jess explains why she's thrilled that players from associate nations will be taking part in the competition and how she's feeling about the potentially life-changing auction.
