Linsey Claire Neale Smith (born 10 March 1995) is an English

Bangladesh.[2][3]

Early life

Smith was born on 10 March 1995 in Hillingdon, Greater London.[1] She attended Loughborough University.[4]

Domestic career

Smith made her List A debut in the 2011 Super Fours competition, playing for Rubies against Sapphires, in which she bowled five overs and conceded just five runs.[5] Just over two weeks later she made her county debut, for Berkshire against Middlesex in the 2011 Women's County Championship, in which she returned figures of 0/45 from her 10 overs.[6] Smith quickly became a regular in Berkshire's team, and took her maiden five-for the following season in a match against Somerset.[7] In the 2015 Women's County Championship, she was her side's leading wicket-taker.[8]

Smith was selected for the Southern Vipers squad in the 2016 Women's Cricket Super League as an injury replacement player.[9] She took four wickets in her second match, against Yorkshire Diamonds, and went on to take 8 wickets in 5 games at the best bowling average in the tournament, 11.50.[10][11] On the back of her success in the Super League, Smith signed for Sussex in early 2017.[12]

Having won the Women's Cricket Super League with the Vipers in 2016, Smith went on to play for the runners-up in the next two seasons, for the Vipers in 2017 and for Loughborough Lightning in 2018.[13] She played for Yorkshire Diamonds in 2019, taking 8 wickets at 32.50.[14] Meanwhile, at county level, Smith took 7 wickets in Sussex's 2018 Women's County Championship Division Two winning season.[15]

In 2020, Smith played four matches, including the final, in the

The Hundred.[18][19][20] She also achieved her List A best bowling figures, taking 5/34 against Western Storm.[21]

In October 2021, it was announced that Smith had signed for

2022 season of The Hundred.[23] She was the joint-leading wicket-taker in the 2022 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with 13 wickets at an average of 18.07.[24] At the end of the 2022 season, it was announced that Smith had left Northern Diamonds, re-joining Southern Vipers.[25]

In January 2023, Smith signed for

The Hundred.[30] In October 2023, it was announced that Smith had signed for Sydney Sixers for the upcoming Women's Big Bash League season.[31] She took 11 wickets in her 11 matches for the side, with an economy of 6.42.[32]

International career

In October 2018, Smith was named in the

England squad for their upcoming 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 campaign.[2] She made her debut in England's second game of the tournament, against Bangladesh, and took 1/17 from four overs, having Sanjida Islam caught to claim her maiden international wicket.[3] She played one more match in the tournament, against South Africa, where she again took one wicket.[33]

In February 2019, Smith was awarded a rookie contract by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for 2019, as well as being named as part of the squad for England's tours of India and Sri Lanka.[34][35] Smith took 5 wickets at 10.60 in the three T20Is against India and took 4 wickets at 17.50 in the three T20Is against Sri Lanka.[36][37] Smith played one match the following summer, taking 2/22 against the West Indies.[38]

On 18 June 2020, Smith was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training ahead of international women's fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic, but did not play a match that summer.[39][40][13]
