Women's Cricket Chat: Ellie Threlkeld

Season 9 is upon us. Can you believe it?

To kick off this season we have someone who is pretty good at kicking a football as well as hitting a cricket ball and putting the fear into any batter who steps out of her crease. It’s Thunder Captain and wicketkeeper Ellie Threlkeld. The young captain chats about choosing cricket over football, the growth of the women’s game, her journey to this point and how she is chasing her dreams of playing for England. Plus THAT century to cap off the final game of a crazy season with Thunder. Alexandra and Georgie caught her just in time before she headed off for some well-earned R&R in Ibiza with Sophie Ecclestone and Alice Capsey. Beach cricket anyone?!
