That season, she also toured with the NSW Second XI for a tri-series against the Victorian Second XI, and with her leg spinners bagged a match-winning 4–11 in one of the matches. Additionally, she represented NSW at the U18 National Championship, claiming eight wickets at 8.88 with a best of 4–14.[7]

For the 2012–13 season, Raack was awarded a Basil Sellers scholarship,[8] and for 2013–14, she was selected in the Cricket NSW Academy Development squad.[9]

Raack was then recruited by Tasmania for the 2014–15 season.[10] She quickly achieved prominence by taking 4–41 in a Twenty20 match against the ACT Meteors.[11] During the following off-season, she moved permanently to Tasmania after finding a full-time job.[12]
