Amazing Grace!
Seamer Grace Hall signed her maiden professional contract ahead of 2025.
After some impressive performances in the early stages of her senior career, for the Northern Diamonds, Hall penned a two-year deal with home county Yorkshire.
She is a York-born seamer with a slingy, Lasith Malinga-style action. She has variations aplenty and is also a handy lower order batter.
Hall has played age-group and senior county cricket for Yorkshire in the old domestic structure. She made her senior debut for her home county towards the end of 2020.
She is a Journalism graduate from Sheffield University and progressed through the Northern Diamonds Academy to make her debuts in T20 and 50-over cricket in 2023.
Hall claimed 10 wickets in her first seven T20 matches for the Diamonds, including a best of 3-20 added to a trio of two-wicket hauls.
She followed that with a senior best of 4-33 on 50-over debut in a Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy win over South East Stars at Beckenham, adding another four-for later in the same campaign.
Her maiden wicket in Diamonds colours was England all-rounder Dani Gibson.
Hall’s 2024 was heavily disrupted by injury, and unfortunately 2025 followed suit.
She only played nine matches, including friendlies, and nothing beyond late May last summer due to a shoulder injury which required surgery. However, she did strike in seven of those nine matches with a best of 3-11 in the Vitality County T20 Cup win over Derbyshire at Harrogate at the start of May.
Fingers crossed, she gets a much clearer run in 2026 because she has shown how much of a threat she could be to opposition batters.
