Alex Price (cricketer)
Alexandra "Alex" Price is an Australian cricketer. She plays as an off spin bowler for South Australian Scorpions and Adelaide Strikers.
As a schoolgirl, Price was also a successful Australian rules footballer. In 2012, at the age of 16 years, she won Port Adelaide's senior best and fairest in the South Australian Women's Football League. The following year, 2013, she co-captained South Australia at an under-18s national carnival in Shepparton, Victoria, in a performance that won her All Australian selection in the forward line.
Price had her breakout cricket season for the Scorpions in 2014–15. At that season's Neil Dansie Medal Presentation, she was named as the Most Improved Scorpion, in recognition of her 17 wickets across the 50 over and Twenty20 formats. She was also rewarded with selection in the Shooting Stars squad.
During the 2015–16 WNCL competition, Price took 12 wickets for the Scorpions, including best figures of 4 for 28 against the ACT Meteors.
Price has been a member of the Adelaide Strikers' squad since its inaugural WBBL01 season. A catch she took during the Strikers' WBBL02 campaign to dismiss Meg Lanning, captain of the Melbourne Stars, has been described as one of the highlights of that campaign. In November 2018, she was named in the Adelaide Strikers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.
