SCOTLAND: Kirstie Gordon, the captain of Nottinghamshire’s Blaze team in English domestic women’s cricket, has decided to return to international cricket with Scotland, over six years after her last appearance for England
The 28-year-old left-arm spinner, who was born in Huntly, began her international career with Scotland at just 14 years old. However, in 2018, she chose to focus on a full-time cricket career within the English domestic system.
During her time with England, Gordon earned selection for the 2018 T20 World Cup and played in a one-off Test against Australia in 2019.
“It’s always been in the back of my mind in the last couple of years to return to Scotland, and it has helped having Craig Wallace (Scotland head coach) in my ear! He’s been on the phone a few times and I feel like I’ve really connected with him and his vision for the team. If you couple that with the chance to play again with two of my best mates in Kathryn (Bryce) and Sarah (Bryce), it feels like it’s the right moment to come home, ” Gordon said in a Cricket Scotland statement.
