Staffordshire nine year old becomes the face of ECB campaign.

17 May 2026

A young cricketer from Staffordshire has been left stunned after a video starring her was watched more than a million times.

Nine-year-old Edie, who plays for Oakamoor Cricket Club in north Staffordshire, is the face of a new England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) campaign celebrating the volunteers and families behind grassroots cricket.

Released last week, the video has already racked up more than a million views online, with fans tuning in from as far afield as India and Sri Lanka.

The ECB is aiming to get a record 500,000 women and girls playing cricket this year, as England Women prepare for a home World Cup campaign.
