Dream Catcher
Charlotte Edwards believes there is much more to come from Women’s Cricket as
she continues to pass on her experiences from a stellar career at the highest level
of the game.
Q Marlborough is somewhere you know well,
having been appointed as Girls’ Cricket
Professional a year ago. Can you tell us
about your involvement so far?
I have really enjoyed my time working with
Marlborough; I was talking to someone about the
recent girls’ fixture against Shrewsbury and I was
as nervous that day as I was being involved in
international cricket! It was brilliant to see the girls
get over the line, especially with so many people there
to witness it. The girls are improving and I look
forward to being involved over the next few years.
Aspiring young players will have no better role model
than someone who played 309 international games

experience of coaching with England?
