Cricket Journey: Libby has grown up with cricket stitched into the fabric of her life. From mini cricket sessions in the garden to taking wickets on county pitches, her journey has been shaped by bold ambition and a deep love for the game. A dynamic player with a sharp eye and quick reactions, Libby has made a name for herself as a versatile all-rounder — equally capable of steadying an innings with the bat or changing the game with a breakthrough spell.

But her rise hasn’t been without challenge. She’s navigated self-doubt, injury setbacks, and the pressure of being one of the few girls in predominantly male teams. Through it all, she’s emerged tougher, more confident, and fiercely proud of the woman she’s becoming through cricket. Her dream is to play professionally — not for the spotlight, but because she knows she belongs there.

Why Maiden: Libby joined Maiden because it speaks her language — bold, unapologetic, and driven by purpose. She’s tired of squeezing into kits that don’t fit and shrinking into spaces that weren’t built for her. Maiden represents everything she wants to see in cricket: authenticity, energy, and respect for the women who play the game.

As an ambassador, Libby is excited to be part of something that’s rewriting the rulebook. For her, Maiden isn’t just about the gear — it’s about identity. It’s about stepping onto the field knowing you’re supported, represented, and seen.
