Leonie Coleman

Leonie Anne Coleman (born 5 February 1979) is an Australian cricketer. A wicket-keeper, Coleman played in one Test match and 24 One Day Internationals for the Australian national women's cricket team.[1]

After making her international debut against New Zealand in 2004,[2] she suffered an injury which kept her out of the international side for several years.[1] She earned a recall to the national side just before the 2007–08 Ashes series, when first choice wicket-keeper Jodie Fields (then Jodie Purves) broke her thumb in a club match.[3] However, Coleman retired from international cricket following the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup, after Fields was preferred as wicket-keeper throughout the tournament.[4]

During the 2009–10 WNCL season, Coleman transferred from New South Wales to the ACT.
