Cricket: Lancashire Thunder name Kate Cross in LCB squad

Kate Cross selected for Lancashire Thunder

Heywood CC and England Women’s Kate Cross has again been selected by Lancashire Thunder for LCB Women Players squad.

Kate Cross said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be re-named in the Thunder squad for the second instalment of the Kia Super League.

"Growing up playing cricket for Heywood CC, it was always a dream of mine to be representing Lancashire and having progressed through the age groups and the Lancashire Academy, it makes me very proud to continue to represent the Red Rose.

“I owe Lancashire a lot. Without their support I would not be playing cricket professionally now, which as a youngster was something I could only imagine doing.

"Having had a disappointing first campaign last summer, I know the squad will be looking to find more success on the pitch this time round.”

The LCB Women’s First Team started their county campaign strongly after securing promotion last year to the Royal London Women’s One-Day Championship Division One. They have recorded wins against Middlesex, Berkshire and Kent and currently lie third in the table.
