A southerner loving life in the north
Beth Langston is a new ball quick who was a squad member when England famously won the 50-over World Cup on home soil in 2017. Unfortunately, she didn’t play in that triumph, not getting the chance to add to six senior caps gained between 2013 and 2016. But, there is every chance her international days are not done.
Langston played six years of county cricket for home side Essex before moving north to join Yorkshire. She played for the Yorkshire Diamonds in the Kia Super League in 2018 and 2019 before starting regional life with the Northern Diamonds in the 2020 summer.
She played in the first two Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy finals but missed the third in 2022 having suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury a month or so beforehand.
Excellent Langston, a contracted pro with the Diamonds, is a linchpin fast bowler in a spin heavy bowling line-up, while she is a very handy lower middle order batter.
At the start of 2022, she toured Australia with the England A squad, highlighting that aforementioned statement about her international days not being over.
A few months later she captained Yorkshire women to the regional final of the national 20-over county cup.
She is closing in on 200 senior career wickets, a milestone she will almost certainly reach in 2023 (143 in List A and 53 in T20 cricket).
