A slow left-arm spinner, Ecclestone became the no.1-ranked T20 bowler at the age of 20 after several years of stellar performances in the format.
A product of Cheshire side Alvanley Cricket Club, the 23-year-old made her Women’s County Championship debut against for Lancashire against Nottinghamshire in 2016.
Impressive performances that year, and in the tri-series for the England Academy, earned Ecclestone a spot in the senior squad for the first time in July 2016.
Ecclestone prioritised finishing school over representing England in the 2017 World Cup but the Cheshire native has cemented her position in the national setup ever since and starred at the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia - taking eight wickets in four matches with only 3.23 runs per over conceded.
