If there is one player who encapsulates how the Hundred has changed the landscape of women’s cricket, it is Alice Capsey. Three years ago, she was an unknown 16-year-old hoping she might get selected for Oval Invincibles. Five days into the first year of the competition, she hit an unbeaten 50 at Lord’s and suddenly everyone wanted a piece of her.
Within a year she was making her England debut; subsequent stints in the Women’s Big Bash League in Australia and the Women’s Premier League in India confirmed her status as one of the biggest superstars in global women’s cricket.
