Cricketer Mitchell Johnson, and his wife Jessica Bratich-Johnson, welcomed their first child on December 6 and have named their daughter Rubika Anne. It is understood that her first name is after her great-grandmother.

Mitchell has been playing international cricket since he was a teenager, and made his Ashes Test debut in 2007. He won the McGilvray Medal in 2008, and was named the ICC Cricketer of the Year in 2009. He currently plays for the Western Australia Warriors and the Mumbai Indians.

Jessica is a former model and karate black belt who now designs handbags. Mitchell and Jessica were married last year.

Although Rubika is unusual, it has the popular Ruby as a nickname.
