The Oval Invincibles batter has been touted as a future England captain and is relishing ‘the best job in the world’
If there is one player who encapsulates how the Hundred has changed the landscape of women’s cricket, it is Alice Capsey. Three years ago, she was an unknown 16-year-old hoping she might get selected for Oval Invincibles. Five days into the first year of the competition, she hit an unbeaten 50 at Lord’s and suddenly everyone wanted a piece of her.
Within a year she was making her England debut; subsequent stints in the Women’s Big Bash League in Australia and the Women’s Premier League in India confirmed her status as one of the biggest superstars in global women’s cricket.
