Mady Villiers, born on 26th August 1998 in Havering, Greater London, is a talented English cricketer known for her right-arm off-break bowling and lower-order batting. She was given her first chance to represent England during the 2019 Ashes Series women’s competition and quickly became an important member of the squad. Villiers has especially proven herself in limited-overs cricket as a smart spin bowler who can break partnerships.

She has represented several teams in domestic cricket, including Essex, Sunrisers, and Oval Invincibles. Villiers has been a key player for Oval Invincibles, particularly in The Hundred, where she contributed immensely to their title-winning teams.

In domestic cricket, Villiers has been one of the most consistent and efficient players for the England women’s team. This year, she was the top wicket-taker for Sunrisers in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and also performed well in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She has earned a reputation as a solid middle-overs bowler, often called upon to contain the opposition’s innings and pick up wickets at crucial moments. In September 2024, Villiers signed a three-year contract with Durham and is expected to continue playing for them in various domestic county competitions starting in 2025.

A closer look at Villiers’ international figures shows her potential. In 3 WODIs, she has taken 3 wickets, with best figures of 3/30. In the WWT20I format, she has played 19 matches and taken 17 wickets, with her best bowling figures of 3/10.
