Sophie Day

Sophie Day, born on 2nd September 1998, isn't just another cricketer; she's a breath of fresh air breaking through the world of cricket, bringing a unique blend of skill and charisma to the sport. Raised in the bustling cricketing circuits of Essex, Sophie picked up a bat almost as soon as she could walk. Her childhood was peppered with evenings spent in the nets, the sound of leather on willow echoing through her formative years.

Sophie made her professional debut for her county at the tender age of eighteen, quickly establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with.

Her trophy cabinet gleams with accolades like the Player of the Year award and several "Best Allrounder" titles that acknowledge both her batting brilliance and her spinning wizardry.
