Early life

George was born on 7 April 1999 in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.[1]

Domestic career

George made her debut for Hampshire in a 2013 Women's County Championship relegation play-off match against Oxfordshire.[2] She took two wickets and scored 18 runs as her side won by 5 wickets.[4] She did not play again until 2015, but had a successful season in both the County Championship and the Twenty20 Cup, taking 8 and 7 wickets, respectively.[5][6] George was thereafter a regular in Hampshire's side, and was their second highest wicket-taker in their Championship winning season in 2018.[7][8]

George was part of the Southern Vipers squad in the Women's Cricket Super League between 2016 and 2018, winning the tournament with them in 2016.[9] In 2019, she played for Yorkshire Diamonds, and took 4 wickets with an economy of 6.85.[10]

In 2020, George played two matches for

The Hundred.[22]

International career

In March 2018, George was named in the England squad for their

India A Women.[24] She played three matches in the tri-series, but failed to make an impact.[25]

In June 2018, George was named in the squad for part of England's tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa.[26] She played two matches, and took two wickets, including her first at international level of Amy Satterthwaite.[27][28]

She made her

Women's One Day International cricket (WODI) debut for England Women in the following series against New Zealand Women on 7 July 2018, and took one wicket.[29] She performed better in the second match of the series, being one of the "stand-out" bowlers as she took 3/36 from 7 overs.[30]

In February 2019, George was awarded a rookie contract by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for 2019 and in 2020 she was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training following the COVID-19 pandemic, but she has not yet played another game for England.[31][32]
