Early life

Reakes was born on 27 December 1990 in Byron Bay, New South Wales.[1]

Cricket career

Reakes made her debut in state cricket for the New South Wales Breakers in a Women's National Cricket League match against Queensland Fire on 7 November 2009. She scored 1 not out and did not bowl.[2] She continued to play for the Breakers until she moved to ACT Meteors ahead of the 2015–16 season, citing the chance to improve her batting. After signing for the Meteors, she pleaded guilty to betting $9 on the 2015 men's Cricket World Cup final, however, she avoided suspension and was free to continue playing.[3] She was named captain of the ACT Meteors ahead of the 2020–21 season.[4]

In the Women's Big Bash League, Reakes first played for the Sydney Sixers, helping the team to the title in both 2016–17 and 2017–18.[5][6] Reakes signed for Melbourne Stars ahead of the 2018–19 season and played 14 matches.[7] Just one week before the start of the 2019–20 season, she was sidelined for its duration by a snapped achilles tendon.[8] In September 2020, Reakes re-signed for the Sydney Sixers.[9]
