Wolverhampton cricket star named in England Women performance programme

Perrin, who only just turned 19 in September, has been included in a list of 13 players for the performance programme.

Her call-up comes off the back of an excellent season with Warwickshire, Birmingham Bears and Hundred champions Northern Superchargers. 

The teenager, who came through the ranks at Fordhouses Cricket Club in Wolverhampton, produced a stunning 42-ball century in the Hundred semi-finals for the Superchargers. 

As a result, Perrin was voted the Professional Cricketers' Association's young player of the year, Birmingham Bears' player of the season for the T20 Blast and Metro Bank Cup.

Perrin has been tipped to star for England at the T20 World Cup next summer and will attend three overseas camps across January, February and March next year. 

England Women’s head of performance pathways Richard Bedbrook said: “The purpose of the performance programme is to provide development opportunities to players across various skill-sets, on the back of the successful pace programme last winter.

“This programme will provide individualised support, designed to accelerate each player’s development, working in collaboration with their county staff. The ultimate ambition is to provide each player with an opportunity to push their case for future England selection through continued performances within the domestic game and any England Women pathway activity.

“There are three overseas training camps for England Women across January, February and March 2026 that players from this performance programme could well be a part of. Such opportunities will provide further experiences and exposure for these players on top of the training camps that will place at the National Cricket Performance Centre."
