A graduate of The Blaze Academy, precocious spinner Maria Andrews only joined the first XI in May 2026, but has already made a splash.
She was a regular for Derbyshire in Tier Two before signing a short-term contract with The Blaze, and she went on to make her debut in a Vitality Blast clash with Durham at Trent Bridge.
Andrews subsequently appeared in six more T20 matches during 2026 as well as making three other List A appearances in the Metro Bank One Day Cup, and totalled 11 wickets.
She claimed a best of 3/40 in a win over Surrey at Beckenham and also appeared in a third-round win over Durham in the Vitality Women’s T20 County Cup.
