Natalie Samuels - Suffolk Womens Captain

History, outline and targets In 2020, women's cricket in England was restructured, creating eight new 'regional hub' teams, with the intention of playing both 50-over and 20-over cricket. Sunrisers Cricket were one of the sides created under this structure, representing the London and East region, Middlesex, Essex, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire, as well as Marylebone Cricket Club. With our close links with Sunrisers, we have formed the Centre of Excellence. This programme has a number of minimum standards which gets audited regularly to ensure we remain compliant whilst our primary purpose, as directed, is to produce cricketers for the Sunrisers Emerging Player Programmes Players will be sent to the Sunrisers Pathway sessions at various times through the programme if they are deemed ready*. This could be bi monthly sessions, ad-hock or not at all. (more details will follow on this in due course)

Phase One, Two and Three Phase One This is our induction phase and lasts until the end of October. It will compromise of a series of technical challenges, strength and condition assessment and class room sessions. These sessions take place on: 12th October - 18:00 to 20:30 - Ipswich School (meet in waiting area adjacent to the sport shall) - gate code 4211# 20th October - 18:00 to 20:00 - Ipswich School - gate code 8224# At the end of October, we will select the group that continues from November until the end of December.
