Sophie Ecclestone plays for the England women's cricket team and has been a brand ambassador with Kookaburra throughout her career.
Sophie Ecclestone was born on May 6, 1999, in Chester, Cheshire, England, and was raised in Helsby. From a young age, she demonstrated a natural talent for cricket, often playing with her older brother, James, and her father, Paul. Her formal cricketing journey began at Alvanley Cricket Club at the age of seven, where she was the only girl in the club’s pathway. Two years later, she entered the Cheshire U13s pathway, and by 2013, she was playing for the Cheshire women’s county team. Her rapid progression continued as she signed with Lancashire in 2015, making her top-level domestic debut at 16.
Ecclestone’s international career began early, joining England’s Academy squad and undertaking her first tour to Sri Lanka in 2016. She made her WT20I debut on July 3, 2016, at age 17, during Pakistan’s tour of England, taking her first wicket with a full toss. By October 2016, she was selected for England’s One Day International squad. Despite missing the 2017 Women’s Cricket World Cup due to school exams, she became a consistent fixture in the England team thereafter. Her height and control of the ball have made her effective across all formats of the game. In December 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) named her the Emerging Player of the Year, recognizing her impact. By March 2020, she achieved the world’s number one bowler ranking in Women’s Twenty20 International cricket following her performance at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, where she secured eight wickets at an average of 6.12 and an economy rate of 3.23.
Her career continued to reach new milestones, including being named the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for June 2021. In February 2021, she took her 100th international wicket during England’s tour of New Zealand. During the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup, she took 21 wickets, including a five-wicket haul with 6/36 in the semi-final against South Africa. In April 2022, she was acquired by the Manchester Originals for The Hundred’s 2022 season. Ecclestone was honored as one of the 2025 Wisden Cricketers of the Year and won the Women’s Cricket Award at the 2024 Cricket Writers’ Club Awards.
