Rising Star Ambassadors
Eva Burbidge
Eva
A promising player representing her school and Warwick Cricket Club.
Eva began playing cricket three years ago and is already making an impact. Her biggest achievement so far is taking her first hat-trick in a school fixture and competing at the Independent Association of Prep Schools finals. Her next goals are to earn a county place and to join the Girls Complete Cricket Academy in 2024/25.
She joined Maiden to help encourage as many girls as possible to get excited about cricket. Inspired by role models such as Georgia Elwiss, Eva hopes to one day become that same kind of role model for others. She knows the challenge of finding whites that fit both her shape and size, being between kids’ and adults’ ranges, and she wants to look good and feel confident on the field.
Bibi Calvo
Bibi
A skilled bowler and committed team player representing her school, Penshurst Park CC, and Kent County.
Bibi has been playing cricket for six years and counts her biggest achievement so far as taking a six-wicket haul in a county match. She loves the game, is dedicated to developing her skills, and is passionate about encouraging more girls to get involved in cricket.
She joined Maiden to promote girls’ cricket while wearing kit that truly fits. After years of relying on her brothers’ hand-me-downs, Bibi is proud to represent a brand that designs cricket clothing specifically for girls, giving them comfort, confidence, and style on the field.
Beatrice Slack
Beatrice
A dedicated player representing her school’s A team as well as Birdham and Chichester cricket clubs.
Beatrice has been playing cricket for three years and dreams of one day representing England, wearing Maiden kit at the Oval and Lord’s. She loves the game and is committed to developing her skills while inspiring others to play.
She joined Maiden because she thinks it is brilliant that a brand has designed and made kit specifically for girls. With a passion for both cricket and fashion design, Beatrice sees Maiden as an inspiration to younger girls. She admires the quality of the kit and hopes to introduce it to schools and clubs in her area that currently have no dedicated girls’ cricket kit and rely on generic whites from sports shops.
Allegra Corsini
Allegra
A promising player who discovered cricket only last year and has quickly embraced the game.
Allegra plays for her school’s U10A team and was recently named both batter and bowler of the match in the same fixture. She loves the sport and is excited to feel herself improving at something new.
She joined Maiden to help make girls’ cricket as popular and celebrated as boys’ cricket. Allegra is proud to represent a brand that is creating change and inspiring more girls to take up the game.

A committed player representing Hurst College Cricket Team in West Sussex.
Eleanor has been a cricket enthusiast since the age of six and loves how the sport brings people together. Whether smashing boundaries or just starting out, she believes cricket connects players in a unique and powerful way.
She joined Maiden because she feels the brand truly understands female cricketers. Eleanor loves the comfortable tops made from high-quality material and the trousers that allow easy movement, making the game even more enjoyable. For her, cricket is about performing at your best and having fun, and she is proud to be part of the Maiden movement, sharing the love for cricket one boundary at a time.
Claudia Bennett-Grande
