Phoebe Claire Graham (born 23 October 1991) is an English cricketer who currently plays for Yorkshire, North Representative XI, Northern Diamonds and Northern Superchargers. She plays as a right-arm medium bowler. She has previously played for Nottinghamshire, Devon and Berkshire.[1][2]

Early life[]

Graham was born on 23 October 1991 in Steeton, West Yorkshire.[2] She attended Exeter University, and has worked in marketing.[3] Her father, Peter, played cricket for Northumberland.[4]

Domestic career[]

Graham made her county debut in 2010, for Nottinghamshire against Sussex. She did not bowl and was out for a duck.[5] She only played one more match for Nottinghamshire, however, and played the rest of the season for Yorkshire. She took five wickets at an average of 19.40 for the side in that season's Twenty20 Cup, and continued to be a regular until she moved to Devon ahead of the 2014 season.[6]

Graham only remained at Devon for two seasons, and took a break from the game after her father passed away in 2015. She was "dragged back" to cricket after watching the 2017 World Cup Final, and subsequently began playing for Berkshire for the 2018 season.[4] She had a successful return, especially in the 2018 Women's Twenty20 Cup, where she took 9 wickets at an average of 10.22.[7] She continued this form into 2019, taking 12 wickets at an average of 18.66 in the County Championship.[8] Ahead of the 2021 season, Graham returned to Yorkshire, and was subsequently named as part of the team's contingent in the North Representative XI squad for the Twenty20 Cup.[9]

In 2020, Graham played for the Northern Diamonds in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. The team reached the final of the tournament, and whilst Graham only took two wickets in her five matches, her new ball bowling was described as "crucial", and she had an economy of just 3.87.[3]

Graham also played in the 2011 and 2012 Super Fours.[10] In May 2021, it was announced that Graham had signed for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred.[11]
