An all-round star has landed at Headingley
Ten-time England international Em Arlott is coming to Headingley ahead of 2027 and beyond.
A seam-bowling all-rounder who has played at the highest level alongside Sarah Glenn, Arlott joins Yorkshire from Warwickshire.
Arlott, aged 28, is a fast bowler with impressive skill and a very dangerous lower middle-order batter.
She’s performed both at home and abroad. Arlott played 50-over cricket for Western Australia in the 2024/25 winter, for example, and also represented Sydney Thunder in last winter’s Big Bash League.
Norfolk-born, Arlott came through the Worcestershire age-group system and made her senior debut for them in 2013 in the old county structure.
She represented the Central Sparks throughout the regional era of professional domestic cricket in England, from 2020 to 2024.
Arlott played for a number of England Development sides and then England A and was on the radar of the national selectors before she made her T20I and ODI debuts at the end of May, 2025.
She had been named in a June 2021 Test squad for a clash with India and then again the following year for a meeting with South Africa. Unfortunately, she was ruled out of the latter having failed to recover from a bout of Coronavirus.
Arlott signed for Yorkshire in July 2026, and shortly afterwards played for Warwickshire against her new county in a Metro Bank One-Day Cup clash at Edgbaston.
She showed the White Rose exactly what they would be inheriting by hitting a dynamic 44 and taking 3-24 in a home win.
