Arabella Cross

Arabella

A wicketkeeper, bowler, and batter playing for Clifton Cricket Club.

Arabella’s proudest moment so far came when she took four wickets in just two overs against a strong boys’ U11 team, finishing as top wicket taker and proving to herself what she is capable of. Inspired by her dad who played for Lancashire, she dreams of representing both her county and her country, and one day playing in Australia where the cricket culture is so strong and exciting.

She became a Maiden ambassador because she wants to help bring cricket into a new era for girls. Having often been the only girl in all-boys teams, Arabella knows how important visibility, inclusion, and the right kit really are. She is passionate about showing other girls that they belong in the game and that cricket can be as empowering as it is exciting.
