Grace Scrivens rewarded for stunning 2023 with Sunrisers contract extension

A year which has seen Scrivens star at the Under-19 T20 Women’s World Cup, impress in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and captain England A keeps getting better for the allrounder

Grace Scrivens has signed a new contract with Sunrisers following a successful 2023.

Among a contracted group which includes Eva Gray, Abtaha Maqsood, Amara Carr, Kelly Castle, Jo Gardner, Cordelia Griffith, Jodi Grewcock and Flo Miller, the 19-year-old has enjoyed a hugely impressive year.

It began with captaining England to the inaugural women's Under-19 World Cup final where they were beaten by India in Potchefstroom.

She has led the way for the region in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, scoring 229 runs and taking two wickets.

Scrivens was then installed as skipper for England A for the one-day internationals against their Australian counterparts, hitting 87 in the third match at Guildford.

Five outings for London Spirit in the women's Hundred followed before leading an ECB women's development XI against Sri Lanka at Arundel, before returning to domestic action in the Heyhoe Flint Trophy this week.

"I'm delighted to have signed another contract with Sunrisers," said Scrivens, who made her Sunrisers debut at 16.

"As a team, I feel the direction that we are heading is really exciting, and I'm glad to be a part of that journey and continue building it.

"The environment that has been created, by both the players and the staff, is very fun and supportive and I love being part of it.

"I'm hoping that we can finish this season well, and I'm already looking forward to next season with this team."

Head coach Andy Tennant added: "We are delighted that Grace has decided to commit her future to Sunrisers, as she's an integral part of the team both on and off the field.

"We look forward to working with her to take her game to the next level and help her build on the successful start she has had to her professional career, and help her take her game to the next level and to fulfil her undoubted elite performance potential."
