Emma Elizabeth Thompson (born 2 December 1990) is an Australian former cricketer who played as a right-handed batter and occasional right-arm medium bowler for the Tasmanian Tigers in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL).[1] [2] Originally from Sydney, Thompson played for several years in the New South Wales U17 ("Under 17") and U19 squads.[3] She then sought further opportunities in Tasmania, where she became a key player for Tasmania.[4]
Thompson was included in the Hobart Hurricanes squad for its inaugural WBBL01 season (2015–16),[5] and was again selected for the WBBL02 season (2016–17).[6] She is not one of the big guns in the WBBL, and sometimes plays essentially as a specialist fielder, a role she accepts without rancour.[7] In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[8] [9]
Off the field, Thompson works as a physiotherapist.[3]
