Selina Solman (born 8 February 1994) is a Vanuatuan cricketer and the current captain of the Vanuatu women's cricket team.[1][2] She was the first female cricketer from Vanuatu to play grade cricket in Australia.[3] She also played for the East Asia-Pacific team in the Australian Country Cricket Championships, with the International Cricket Council (ICC) calling her a "crucial player for the team".[4]

In April 2019, she was named as the captain of Vanuatu's squad for the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier EAP tournament, also held in Vanuatu.[5] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut against Papua New Guinea in the Women's Qualifier EAP tournament on 6 May 2019.[6]

Solman has also represented Vanuatu in netball at the 2017 Pacific Mini Games,[7] becoming one of the few dual sport representatives for the nation internationally.[8]
