Cricket Journey: Millie Edwards has spent seven years carving out her place behind the stumps and at the crease. As a wicketkeeper and batter, she brings precision and presence to every match she plays. Some of her proudest moments so far include retiring at 50 and earning Best Batter awards — proof of her consistency, sharp game sense, and calm under pressure.

But Millie isn’t just focused on personal milestones. She’s committed to becoming a more confident, well-rounded player, and she knows that confidence comes from showing up, doing the work, and backing yourself — especially as a girl in a space that hasn’t always felt built for you.

Why Maiden: Millie joined Maiden because it represents everything she stands for — pushing boundaries, elevating girls in the game, and giving female cricketers gear that actually fits. She’d been following the brand and loved what it stood for, and now she’s proud to wear it.

For Millie, Maiden is a statement: girls belong here, and they’re not here to blend in. They’re here to change how cricket looks, feels, and speaks — and Millie is doing that every time she steps onto the pitch.
