History [ ]
In 2020, women's cricket in England was restructured, creating eight new 'regional hub' teams, with the intention of playing both 50-over and 20-over cricket.[7] Sunrisers were one of the sides created under this structure, representing the London and East region, Middlesex , Essex , Northamptonshire , Hertfordshire , Cambridgeshire , Suffolk , Norfolk , Bedfordshire and Huntingdonshire , as well as Marylebone Cricket Club .[6] The side was to be captained by Amara Carr and coached by Trevor Griffin .[8] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the 2020 season was truncated, and only 50-over cricket was played, in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy .[9] Sunrisers finished bottom of the South Group in the competition, losing all six of their matches.[10] At the end of the season, five Sunrisers players were given full-time domestic contracts, the first of their kind in England: Amara Carr, Naomi Dattani , Cordelia Griffith , Jo Gardner and Kelly Castle .[11]
The following season, 2021, Sunrisers competed in both the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the newly-formed Twenty20 competition, the Charlotte Edwards Cup . The side again lost all of their matches in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, finishing bottom of the eight-team group.[12] For the Charlotte Edwards Cup, Kelly Castle was named as captain of the side.[5] In the first match of the tournament, Sunrisers recorded their first ever victory, beating Western Storm by 7 wickets.[13] However, they did not win another match in the tournament and finished bottom of their group, although they did tie their home match against North West Thunder .[14]
