Charlotte Edwards is an ex-England Cricket captain and has been the figure head for the women’s game. In her 20-year career she scored more than 10,000 runs and was captain for 10-years. She was the youngest woman of her time to have played for England, and made her debut in New Zealand at Guildford at the age of 16. Since then she has gotten involved in promoting the game and helping organisations to help the next generation to ensure that the women’s side of the sport is promoted and encouraged from a young age. I was lucky enough to play a game of cricket with her, along with Phoebe, representing Wimbledon High in the GDST 1st XI cricket team last summer in our game against the MCC to promote the awareness of female cricket.
