Charlie Russell

Charlotte Russell is an off-spinner who gives the ball plenty of loop and extracts fairly decent turn, too. Her performances for Diamonds in the Super Fours in 2007 led to an England call-up, and she made her debut in the Twenty20 against New Zealand in August 2007. Not bad for someone who only took up off-spin in 2005. She plays club cricket for Brighton & Hove and county cricket for Sussex alongside fellow England players Holly Colvin, Sarah Taylor, Laura Marsh and Rosalie Birch. A lower-order bat at international level, she bats in the middle order for Sussex.
