Charlotte Edwards Facts

When she made her international debut in July 1996, Charlotte was the youngest player ever to represent England. The record was broken by 15-year-old Holly Colvin in 2005.

Just a day before her 18th birthday, she had hammered 173 runs not out in an ODI match against Ireland. This was the then-record for the highest individual score in a Women’s ODI match.

In November 2010, she had broken Australian icon Karen Rolton’s world record of 141 ODI appearances. The match that the record was broken in was against Sri Lanka where she had produced career-best bowling figures of 4 wickets for 30 runs.

In 2014, she was named as one of the 5 ‘Wisden Cricketers of the Year’. She was only the 2nd female English cricketer to have achieved the feat after Claire Taylor was similarly honored in 2009.

A pioneer in women’s T20 batting, she has been featured in franchise-based T20 leagues around the world, turning out for the Perth Scorchers (2015-16) and the Adelaide Strikers (2016-17) in the WBBL (Women’s Big Bash League; and the Southern Vipers (2016–2017) in the KSL (Kia Super League).

She was the first female cricketer to have broken the barrier of 2,000 runs in T20Is. She holds the record of being the first cricketer, male or female, to record 2,500 runs in T20Is.

Charlotte holds the record of being the first cricketer to have scored 1,000 runs, taken 50 wickets, and held 50 catches in Women’s ODI matches.

For her services to cricket, she was appointed an MBE in 2009 and CBE in 2014.
