A family picnic by the village green led her to pick up a bat at age seven, sparking a love affair with the sport that has only grown deeper and more profound with time.

As a youngster, Kate was often the only girl in local cricket matches, and she stood out not only for her talent but her tenacity.

Amongst her defining moments was the 2022 match against Southern Vipers where she scored a fiery 88 not out, single-handedly sealing the game for her team. The 2023 Ashes series also saw her shine in the spotlight as she claimed a record 5/29 in a nail-biting encounter against Australia, etching her name into the annals of cricketing history.

Kate's career is punctuated by significant achievements. She was a pivotal member of the England team that clinched the ICC Women’s World Cup in 2023.
