Katie Maree Mack (born 14 September 1993) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter and right-arm leg break bowler for the New South Wales Breakers in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL), Adelaide Strikers in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL)[1][2][3] and Lancashire for the 2025 Metro One-Day Cup and 2025 Vitality T20 Cup.[4] She has previously played for Essex, Melbourne Stars, Birmingham Phoenix and the ACT Meteors.[5]
Mack began her domestic career as a rookie with New South Wales in 2012. Originally a bowling all-rounder, Mack made the switch to batting to further her chances of selection.[6] On 27 May 2012, Mack made her List A debut for Essex in the 2012 Women's County Championship against Yorkshire.[7]
Prior to the start of the 2013/14 domestic season, she moved to play for the ACT Meteors due to a lack of opportunity with New South Wales.[8] Mack made her maiden List A century on 20 December 2014, scoring 106 from 131 balls in a five-wicket defeat to Queensland Fire.[9] She signed with the Melbourne Stars for the inaugural Women's Big Bash League season.[10]
In October 2017, she was named in the Cricket Australia XI squad for a three-day tour match against England as part of their tour of Australia.[11] In August 2019, she signed with the Adelaide Strikers ahead of 2019–20 Women's Big Bash League season.[12]
On 7 February 2021, she carried her bat against South Australia, scoring 106 off 131 balls in a losing cause.[13] During the 2020/21 WNCL season, Mack was the third-highest run-scorer with 418 runs at an average of 59.71.[14]
In January 2022, Mack was named in Australia's A squad for their series against England A, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes.[15] Ahead of the 2022/23 WNCL season, she was named as the captain of the Meteors as a replacement for Angela Reakes.[16] She was included in the team of the tournament for the 2023–24 Women's National Cricket League season with 471 runs at an average of 47.10 and a high score of 140*.[17]
She was named as the Adelaide Striker's MVP following the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Big Bash League season, scoring 452 runs from 15 matches.[18] In June 2024, she was added to the Australia A squad for the Indian tour of Australia.[19] On 14 August, she scored a century against India A.[20]
Mack rejoined Lancashire in 2025 on an overseas contract for the Metro One-Day Cup and the first three matches in the Vitality T20 Cup.[21] In April 2025, she moved to the New South Wales Breakers ahead of the 2025/26 domestic season.[22]
