Former Australia quicks Belinda Vakarewa and Holly Ferling have moved states as part of squad lists named for the 2023-23 women's cricket season.

Former Australia quick Belinda Vakarewa will move back to NSW after making the call to leave Tasmania and go uncontracted for 2022-23.

Vakarewa on Tuesday did not appear on any state's contract list, after taking personal leave from the game at the end of last summer.

The right-arm quick has played just the one ODI for Australia in 2017, but has long been among Australian squads and considered an option when available.

That was the case most recently on last year's tour of New Zealand, before making herself unavailable for Australian selection in the summer just gone.

It's believed she was offered a contract by WNCL champions Tasmania, but opted not to take it up.

Instead she has decided to move home to Sydney where she grew up, and is expected to train with NSW from outside of their contract list and be available for selection.

There is also every chance she will return to a Sydney franchise in the Women's Big Bash League, with the WBBL contract embargo window lifted on Tuesday morning.

It's also likely she will play a number of WNCL matches for NSW, with the state regularly calling from outside their contract list for the 50-over competition due to Australian players being unavailable.

Vakarewa was the biggest mover in Tuesday's lists, with former New Zealand wicketkeeper Rachael Priest dropping out of Tasmania's squad.

Former Australia quick Holly Ferling has also shifted from Queensland to ACT, after last playing international cricket in 2016.
