Alex Blackwell was born in Wagga Wagga and raised in Yenda, a small rural town outside of Griffith, New South Wales.

The Southern Stars vice-captain is one of the most experienced players in the line-up with more than 100 games of experience to her name.

She is a vital member of the middle-order with her powerful and precise stroke play and her leadership skills are a massive benefit to those younger players batting around her.
