Stella Campbell’s Early Life, Family and Cricket Development
Childhood and cricket beginnings
Campbell developed through the New South Wales cricket pathway. Cricket Australia identifies her as a product of that system, which helped prepare her for senior state cricket and the WBBL. She also gained international age-group experience by touring with Australia’s Under-19 side in New Zealand and South Africa. Cricket Australia+1
These early opportunities exposed her to different playing conditions and helped her move into a higher standard of competition while still a teenager.
Stella Campbell’s parents and family
Campbell’s parents, siblings and wider family background are not sufficiently documented in the authoritative cricket profiles reviewed for this biography. Their names and occupations should not be published without stronger evidence.
Similarly, no dependable public source reviewed here establishes her relationship status, spouse or children. These details should not be inferred from social media speculation or low-quality biography websites.
Education, school and coaching
Campbell’s public cricket profile provides information about her development pathway but does not establish a complete, reliably verified school and university timeline. Cricket NSW is the strongest starting point for understanding her organised cricket development. Cricket NSW+1
Her publicly documented progression is clearer than the details of her private education: youth cricket, a WBBL contract, state-level appearances and eventual Australian selection.
Stella Campbell’s Youth Cricket and Breakthrough with Sydney Sixers
Campbell’s early professional opportunity came unusually young. She signed her first WBBL deal at age 16 and played for the Sydney Sixers during the 2019–20 season. Cricket Australia’s profile records that she appeared in 13 matches during her first WBBL campaign. Cricket Australia+1
Australia Under-19 cricket
Campbell represented Australia at Under-19 level on tours to New Zealand and South Africa. These experiences formed an important part of her development before her senior international debut.
Sydney Sixers and the WBBL debut
Her first WBBL season brought a challenge that tested her readiness for senior cricket. Late in the 2019–20 campaign, Ellyse Perry suffered a tournament-ending shoulder injury, and Campbell was called on to take responsibility during the powerplay. The opportunity exposed the young fast bowler to an important role against experienced batters. Cricket Australia+1
Campbell subsequently remained part of the Sixers’ bowling group for several seasons. By September 2023, Cricket Australia’s report on her move to Perth recorded that she had played 45 matches for Sydney and taken 21 wickets at an average of 30.81, with best figures of 2/12. Perth Scorchers+1
Stella Campbell’s New South Wales Breakers Career and the Historic 7/25
Campbell made her New South Wales state debut in January 2020. Her most celebrated domestic performance followed on 6 January 2022, when she dismantled the ACT Meteors in the Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL). Cricket Australia+1

New South Wales victory
WNCL match at Manuka Oval, Canberra, 6 January 2022. Cricket Australia+1
New South Wales scored 260 all out in 49.5 overs, with Rachael Haynes making 118 from 132 balls. Campbell then bowled with pace and bounce to help dismiss the ACT Meteors for just 53, giving the Breakers a 207-run win. Cricket Australia+1
The spell was especially significant because it came shortly before Australia’s selectors were due to consider their Ashes squad. Campbell had an immediate opportunity to demonstrate that her domestic performances could merit further international consideration.
At the time, her figures were reported as the second-best bowling performance in WNCL history, behind Victoria’s Stephanie Theodore, who had taken 7/14 against Western Australia in 1998. The figures also became a landmark achievement for the New South Wales Breakers. Cricket Australia+1
How the performance affected her international prospects
Campbell’s form brought further attention from the national selectors. In January 2022, she was called into Australia’s Ashes Test squad as cover following Tayla Vlaeminck’s season-ending foot injury. Campbell had already made her Test debut against India a few months earlier, so the selection represented another opportunity to be considered for Australia’s senior bowling group. Cricket Australia+1
Her seven-wicket haul remains the defining statistical highlight of her domestic career because it combines exceptional figures, a substantial team victory and a clear connection to her international selection prospects.
Stella Campbell’s Australia Career: ODI and Test Debuts
Campbell’s international breakthrough came in September 2021 during Australia’s home series against India. She made her ODI debut on 26 September and her Test debut four days later, on 30 September. Cricket Australia+1
ODI debut against India
Campbell made her ODI debut at Harrup Park in Mackay, Queensland, on 26 September 2021. She took 1/41 in nine overs, including one maiden, against India. She did not score a run in her batting opportunity, remaining not out. Cricket Australia+1
Her debut was a major personal milestone: it confirmed her arrival at senior international level after progression through Australia’s youth and domestic systems.
Test debut and first international wickets
Campbell made her Test debut at Carrara Oval on the Gold Coast on 30 September 2021. She took two wickets for 47 runs in her first innings with the ball, dismissing Deepti Sharma and Tanya Bhatia. Across the match, she finished with two wickets for 66 runs. Perth Scorchers+1
Her debut was notable because she was able to contribute wickets against established Indian players. It also demonstrated how her pace and bounce could be used in the longer format, where bowlers have more time to build pressure.
International career statistics
The following figures reflect the recorded senior international matches in the cricket profiles consulted. They should not be mistaken for her domestic or WBBL totals.
| Format | Matches | Wickets | Best bowling | Bowling average |

| Women’s ODIs | 1 | 1 | 1/41 | 41.00 |

Stella Campbell’s Perth Scorchers Career in the WBBL
In September 2023, the Perth Scorchers announced Campbell’s signing on a two-season deal ahead of WBBL|09. The move ended her initial Sydney Sixers chapter and gave her a fresh franchise environment in Western Australia. Perth Scorchers+1
Why Perth signed Stella Campbell
The Scorchers strengthened their fast-bowling options by bringing in a tall, right-arm quick who could generate steep bounce. Campbell’s previous WBBL experience and international appearances made her a useful addition to a bowling group that included Taneale Peschel and Piepa Cleary, with Sophie Devine as captain. Perth Scorchers+1
Campbell described the move as a new opportunity and said she was looking forward to learning from Perth’s international players. She also highlighted her belief that her pace and bounce could suit the WACA conditions. Perth Scorchers+1
WBBL career statistics
Cricket Australia’s player profile records the following WBBL totals in the statistics available for this biography:
| Statistic | WBBL record |
|---|---|
| Matches | 53 |
| Wickets | 23 |
| Best bowling | 3/32 |
| Bowling average | 35.09 |
| Economy rate | 7.83 |
| Maidens | 1 |
| Runs conceded | 807 |
| Batting runs | 25 |
| Highest score | 12 |
Cricket Australia+1
These figures show that Campbell’s principal contribution has been with the ball. Her best WBBL bowling of 3/32 illustrates her ability to take multiple wickets in a single match, while the larger career total provides context for her experience in Australia’s premier women’s domestic T20 competition.

Stella Campbell’s Bowling Style, Height and Strengths
Campbell’s bowling is built around pace, bounce and her ability to make use of her height. At approximately 184 cm, she can release the ball from a high point, making it difficult for batters to settle when the pitch offers extra bounce. Cricket Australia has reported that she has bowled at speeds exceeding 120 km/h. Cricket Australia+1
Her principal strengths include:
- Height and bounce: Her 184 cm frame helps her generate steep bounce.
- Pace: She has demonstrated the ability to bowl above 120 km/h.
- Wicket-taking potential: Her 7/25 against the ACT Meteors is strong evidence of her capacity to dominate a domestic innings.
- Experience in multiple formats: She has played Test and ODI cricket for Australia and T20 cricket in the WBBL.
- Powerplay experience: Her early Sydney Sixers career included responsibility during the powerplay after Ellyse Perry’s injury. Cricket Australia+1
Her 7/25 performance also shows why bowling figures should be considered alongside role and match conditions. The spell came at Manuka Oval on a day when New South Wales had made 260, giving Campbell an opportunity to attack with a substantial total behind her.
Stella Campbell’s Career Timeline
| Date / period | Team or level | Career milestone |
|---|---|---|
| 2018–19 | Australia Under-19 | Youth tours to New Zealand and South Africa |

Stella Campbell’s Current Team and Career Status
As of October 2026, Campbell’s most recent clearly documented opportunities in the sources reviewed include her Perth Scorchers WBBL association and her selection in Sydney Thunder’s T20 Spring Challenge squad in October 2025. Cricket Australia’s 2025–26 state-squad reporting listed her among the players leaving New South Wales, so her current state-contract position should not be assumed from older profiles. Perth Scorchers+2
The Sydney Thunder selection is particularly relevant because the T20 Spring Challenge squad included uncontracted players competing for a potential WBBL|11 place. Being named in that squad did not itself establish a full WBBL contract. Sydney Thunder+1
Her career record therefore needs to be read in two parts: she has already played senior international cricket, while her more recent opportunities have centred on domestic and franchise pathways. A current official squad announcement or match sheet is needed to confirm her exact team and latest appearance for the 2026–27 season.
Stella Campbell’s Net Worth, Salary and Sponsorships
No dependable public net-worth estimate for Stella Campbell could be verified from the authoritative cricket and financial sources consulted. Publishing a specific dollar amount would therefore be speculative.
Likewise, her full career earnings, personal sponsorship agreements and private assets are not established by the cricket profiles reviewed. Her WBBL contracts are evidence of professional franchise employment, but the announced signing reports do not disclose a complete personal income figure. Her net worth should not be calculated from wicket totals, match appearances or assumed league salaries.
Stella Campbell’s Awards, Records and Major Achievements
Campbell’s most significant documented achievements include:
- Australian international: Made her ODI and Test debuts against India in September 2021.
- WNCL standout: Took 7/25 against the ACT Meteors in January 2022.
- Historic bowling performance: The 7/25 was reported as the second-best bowling return in WNCL history at the time.

- Early professional opportunity: Signed her first WBBL deal at age 16.
- Ashes squad selection: Earned a call-up in January 2022 after Tayla Vlaeminck’s injury. Cricket Australia+3
The 7/25 remains the most distinctive entry in this list because it was both a major individual achievement and a performance that attracted attention ahead of Ashes selection.
