Anya named as the latest Legends Wall inductee
Somerset County Cricket Club are pleased to be able to announce that Anya Shrubsole will be the fifth player to be included on our new Legends Wall feature.
Anya was only 12 years old when she made her Somerset debut, claiming two for 20 from six overs and helping Somerset to a four-wicket win over Berkshire. She then became the first girl to join the Somerset Academy when she was 13.
She took 89 wickets in 71 List A matches for Somerset with a best of seven for 28 and went on to make her England debut in 2008.
She featured in 173 internationals across the formats, taking a total of 227 wickets for her country.
Anya was named player of the tournament at the ICC Women’s World T20 competition in 2014 and was named player of the match as England lifted the World Cup trophy at Lord’s in 2017.
In 2018 Anya became the first woman to appear on the cover of the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack and was one of Wisden’s Cricketers of the Year.
Anya is the first female cricketer to be permanently honoured at the Cooper Associates County Ground.
