Kirsten Elizabeth Pike (born 12 November 1984) is an Australian former cricketer.[1]
Pike, a right-arm fast-medium pace bowler and right-hand batter, played 86 Women's National Cricket League matches for the Queensland Fire,[2] retiring following the 2013–14 season after helping to win the team's first Twenty20 title.[3] She finished her career as Queensland's all-time leading wicket-taker.[4]
Pike also played one Women's Test, 26 Women's One-day Internationals and ten Women's Twenty20 Internationals for the Australian women's cricket team.[1] She is the 153rd woman to play Test cricket for Australia,[5] and the 103rd woman to play One Day International cricket for Australia.[5][6]
Pike studied law at the Queensland University of Technology, and as of 2019[update] was working as a partner in the Brisbane real estate team of Dentons, an international law firm.[7][8] In September 2017 she became the second woman ever elected to the board of directors of Queensland Cricket,[9] and in June 2019 she was appointed the deputy chair.[10] Since retiring from cricket, Pike has participated regularly in the Chain Reaction Challenge Foundation's charity cycling events, which she described as "a fantastic substitute for not playing cricket anymore."[11]
