Denstone Pupil Selected For England World Cup Cricket Squad

Denstone Pupil Selected for England World Cup Cricket Squad

Huge congratulations to Sophie Beech who has been selected for the Women’s U19 World Cup 2025 squad, to be held in Malaysia.

Sophie will be one of the non-travelling reserves but will take part throughout the preparation phase and act as a stand-by player should a replacement player be required.

Sophie says: I am delighted to be selected into the England U19 training squad for the 2025 World Cup. It really is an exciting opportunity to be able to train alongside some experienced players in an England environment which will challenge me and progress my game.

Playing for Central Sparks in the academy and being named in the senior squads at the end of the season has given me exposure to a professional environment. Denstone College has given me so much support with my cricket. I have received many opportunities such as touring to Barbados which was an invaluable experience and being able to play in various teams including both the senior boys’ teams and captaining the girl’s 1st XI. 

This year, Sophie will complete her A Levels at Denstone and we can’t wait to follow her continued success. We wish Sophie and the team all the best for the World Cup.
