England captain Charlotte Edwards in bat for Wisbech Grammar

Wisbech Grammar School girls’ first team enjoyed a masterclass from England cricket captain, Charlotte Edwards.

Charlotte, from Huntingdon, has been a prolific batter for England since making her debut at the age of 16, and has captained her country with huge success since late 2005.

The Ashes winner has won the Women’s Team Award for the past two years. She is also a trustee for the ‘Chance to Shine Foundation’ which was established to inspire the next generation of cricketers.

Director of sport, Mr Phil Webb, said: “To have the England captain at the school is the biggest encouragement for the girls here.”
