Essex women have signed England-capped opening batter Lauren Winfield-Hill on loan from Yorkshire for the 2025 Vitality Blast.

Winfield-Hill, 34, has played over 100 matches for England across Test, One Day International and Twenty20 cricket, wining the 2017 ODI World Cup.

She has scored almost 4,000 T20 runs, playing in Australia’s Big Bash and the Caribbean Premier League, while also representing the Northern Superchargers in the Hundred.

“Signing for Essex on loan this season makes perfect sense, and it’s an opportunity I’m really excited about,” said Winfield-Hill.

“I want to keep testing myself by playing at the highest level possible, and this move means that I can do that in what is set to be a groundbreaking year for women’s cricket in England.

“I really feel like I can bring something to the group here at Essex, and I’m excited to play in a new environment at Chelmsford, too.”

Winfield-Hill has also played at wicketkeeper during four years in The Hundred, claiming 38 stumpings.
