Putting the win in Winfield-Hill
Lauren Winfield-Hill has tasted success at county, regional, franchise and international level.
She is a Yorkshire legend, so to sign her on a long-term contract at the start of the new era of women’s cricket in England is a major coup for the county.
Winfield-Hill is a prolific wicketkeeper-batter, aged 34.
Her form in 50-over cricket for the Headingley-based Northern Diamonds during the five-season regional era was particularly impressive. In 42 50-over matches between 2020 and 2024, she scored 1,722 runs at the top of the order with 14 fifties and three hundreds.
A product of the Stamford Bridge club in her home city of York, she won the County Championship with Yorkshire in 2015 and is an attacking, eye-catching batter with captaincy experience.
She was in the England team that won the 50-over World Cup by beating India in a tense final at Lord’s in 2019. To date, Winfield-Hill has played 104 times for England across all formats.
She is married to Courtney, a Queenslander who played cricket for Brisbane Heat. That’s where they met. Since moving to Leeds and gaining a UK passport, Courtney played Rugby League for England and was a Super League-winning captain with Leeds Rhinos.
The pair have joked that between them they have put the Win in Winfield-Hill.
Lauren won the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy with the Diamonds in 2022 and the Hundred with the Oval Invincibles that same summer.
In recent years, Lauren has married a playing career with media work, often seen on Sky Sports as a pundit for England women’s matches.
