The Nottinghamshire Women's cricket team is the women's representative cricket team for the English historic county of Nottinghamshire. They play their home games at John Fretwell Sporting Complex, Nettleworth and are captained by Sonia Odedra.[1] In 2019, they played in Division One of the final season of the Women's County Championship, and in 2021 won the East Midlands Group of the Women's Twenty20 Cup.[2] They are partnered with the East Midlands regional side Lightning.[3]

History[]

1934–1999: Early History[]

Nottinghamshire Women's first recorded match took place in 1934, which they lost to the Women's Cricket Association.[4] They went on to play various one-off games against nearby teams, such as Warwickshire and Lincolnshire.[5] East Midlands Women, which included players from Nottinghamshire, joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, and was a founding member of the Women's County Championship.[6] East Midlands won Division One of the Championship in 1999.[7]

2000– : Women's County Championship[]

Nottinghamshire replaced East Midlands in Division One of the County Championship for the 2000 season, finishing second with four out of five wins.[8] Nottinghamshire remained in Division One for a further four seasons, finishing second again in 2003, but were relegated in 2004.[9] After two seasons in Division 2, Nottinghamshire returned to Division One and remained a consistently mid-table side.[10]

In 2009, Nottinghamshire played in the 2009 RSA T20 Cup, a tri-series in Ireland with Pakistan and Ireland. They finished bottom of the table, but managed one win against Ireland.[11] In 2010, they joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup, placing 2nd in their regional division in their first season.[12] They reached the semi-finals in 2013, but lost to eventual winners Kent.[13] In 2014, however, Nottinghamshire were crowned the Champions of the tournament, first qualifying for Round 2 unbeaten, then finishing above Middlesex and Kent in the final group on Net Run Rate.[14][15]

Since then, Nottinghamshire have had a brief stint in Division Two in both competitions, in 2016 in the Championship and 2017 in the T20 Cup. In both instances, they gained promotion at their first attempt.[16][17] In 2019, they finished 6th in the Championship and 9th in the T20 Cup.[18][19] In 2021, they competed in the East Midlands Group of the Twenty20 Cup, and won their region, going unbeaten with 5 wins and 3 matches abandoned due to rain.[20]
