Women’s BBL team extends with principal partner

Australian Women’s Big Bash League Twenty20 cricket team the Brisbane Heat has extended its main sponsorship deal with Epic Pharmacy.

The new two-year deal will cover the 2016-17 and 2017-18 WBBL seasons. Epic Pharmacy will continue to serve as the team’s principal partner.

The club’s men’s team in July unveiled financial services provider CUA as its new principal partner. The WBBL Heat side will feature the branding of both Epic and CUA on its playing and training shirts for the next two seasons.

The Heat finished the inaugural 2015-16 WBBL season in sixth place.
