The following year, she played in the Women's Cricket World Cup, but she then took a long break from cricket,[7] during which time Kimmince moved to London and worked in the Princess Louise pub in Holborn.[8] During this time, Kimmince was talked into playing for Warwickshire and took a three-hour train journey each way to matches each week without attending training.[8]

In June 2015, Kimmince was named as one of Australia's touring party for the 2015 Women's Ashes in England, as a Twenty20 specialist. However, she was later ruled out due to a lower back issue.[10]

In November 2018, she was named in Brisbane Heat's squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[17][18] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract ahead of the 2019–20 season.[19][20]

In June 2019, Cricket Australia named her in Australia's team for their tour to England to contest the Women's Ashes.[21][22] On 4 July 2019, in the second Women's One Day International (WODI) match of the Women's Ashes, Kimmince took her first five-wicket haul in WODIs.[23] In January 2020, she was named in Australia's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[24]
