The former Fordhouses Cricket Club ace, who turned 20 this month, has impressed across formats over the past two seasons, with the extension seeing Perrin remain at Edgbaston until at least the end of the 2028 season.

Perrin announced herself on the global stage in 2025, making history by scoring a stunning 42-ball century - the fastest in The Hundred women’s competition.

Warwickshire Bears women’s head coach Ali Maiden said: “She’s one of the most exciting talents in the English domestic game, and we’re looking forward to seeing what she can achieve in the coming years.

“She has already shown how destructive she can be, both in domestic cricket and in franchise cricket with The Hundred, so it was imperative that we keep her here. It’s fantastic news for everyone involved.”

Perrin added: “I’m really happy to be extending my time with the Bears.

“We have a very exciting, talented and high-potential group. This is a team that encourages freedom and expression on the pitch and I’m looking forward to the success these things can bring.

“Hopefully I can contribute to that success moving forwards and we can add some silverware over the coming years.”
