Jill Kennare (16 August 1956) is an Australian former cricketer who played as a right-handed batter. She appeared in 12 Test matches and 19 One Day Internationals for Australia between 1979 and 1987, including captaining the side on their 1984 tour of India.[1] She played domestic cricket for South Australia.[2][3]
