Cricket Journey: Imogen Parkes may have only been playing for three years, but she’s already captaining multiple club teams and carving out a leadership path in cricket. A proud recipient of the Super 1s Inspire Award, one of her highlights was meeting Alice Capsey — a moment that pushed her to dream even bigger. Imogen is determined to build a career in cricket while breaking down barriers for women and girls every step of the way.

Why Maiden: Imogen returned to the Maiden programme because she found a genuine sense of belonging. She shares Maiden’s mission of empowering girls in cricket and has loved every moment — from the incredible kit to the friendships formed through the community. For her, Maiden is a space where passion meets purpose, and she’s proud to play her part in carrying that message forward.
