Georgia Redmayne has replaced Jess Jonassen as Brisbane Heat captain, taking charge after the side finished last with no wins in 2025.

Georgia Redmayne has replaced Jess Jonassen as Brisbane Heat captain ahead of the 2025-26 WBBL season. Jonassen led the side for six WBBL seasons. The Heat finished last in 2025 and did not win a match.

Redmayne is a wicketkeeper and batter who has recently returned to working as a doctor alongside her cricket. She captained Queensland Fire in the 2025-26 WNCL, which the side won, and scored a century in the final.

Redmayne said pre-season has gone well and the team's WNCL success showed the core group remains capable of winning. She identified high-pressure moments as an area where the team struggled last year. The Heat play their first game of the season at home on Friday night against the Sixers.
