World Cup winners Gill Smith and Susie Clarke (nee Kitson) will appear in
this year's Women's Cricket County Championship to mark the last time East
Anglia, which includes Cambs and Herts, will play in the competition as an
Area. They will split into individual counties at the end of this season.
East Anglia will also field Charlotte Edwards, 19, who scored her maiden
Test century (108) in the first innings of England's drawn Test against
India which finished on Sunday (July 18).
Smith, from Byfleet in Surrey but a Radlett Vagabonds (Herts) player, was
vice-captain in the World Cup when England beat New Zealand in the final
at Lord's to win the trophy for the second time. She retired after the
1993 season.
Clarke, from Cambridge, was a superb all-rounder representing her country
until 1995.
The 18th County Championship runs from July 24-28 at University grounds in
Cambridge. Yorkshire are defending champions and have won the title for
the past seven years. They will field three current senior England
players.
East Anglia are in Division Two of three divisions alongside Cheshire,
Derbyshire, Sussex, The West and Yorkshire II in the round robin format.
