Modern great and World Cup winner Tammy Beaumont is one of the most experienced and high-calibre members of The Blaze’s squad.
Having retired from a storied international career in July 2026 following England Women’s historic first-ever Test at Lord’s, she is now a full-time member of The Blaze’s squad.
Between her international bow on a tour of the West Indies in November 2009, aged only 18, and her retirement 17 years later, Beaumont totalled more than 7,000 international runs, averaging north of 40 in ODI cricket.
She was voted as Player of the Tournament as England lifted the World Cup in 2017, and in all, represented her country more than 260 times across formats.
Born in Dover, she played sporadically for her home county of Kent between 2007 and 2019, before becoming one of the first players to sign for Lightning upon its formation in 2020, when women’s domestic cricket was reorganised into the regional model.
She was appointed as an MBE in the 2018 New Year Honours List, before also being honoured through her naming as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 2019.
Beaumont has remained in the East Midlands for her domestic cricket ever since arriving in 2020, including throughout the transition from Lightning to The Blaze, though she does also count past appearances for Southern Vipers and Surrey Stars on her CV.
As her international career came to a close in 2026, she was a regular presence at the top of the order throughout The Blaze’s unprecedented treble-winning campaign, to which she contributed more than 850 runs, with ten fifties, at an average of 31.67.
