Profile
Tammy Beaumont’s World Cup campaign in 2017 - ‘410 runs in 9 matches, a match-winning century in the semifinal against South Africa, Player of the Tournament and lifting the World Cup,’ England’s talismanic opener wouldn’t have asked for a better journey.


The Dover-born batter started her club career at Sandwich Town under the guidance of her father Kevin before sealing a spot in the Kent top-order. A Kent Academy member, Tammy recorded her maiden first-class ton in 2009. The wicket-keeper batter replaced Sarah Taylor in the national side as Beaumont made her respective T20I and ODI debuts as a 18-year-old.


Beaumont found the going tough in the international arena and she quit keeping to focus on her batting. Being a consistent performer for her county Kent, Tammy was constantly knocking on the selectors’ door. She led the England Women's Academy team impressively for successive years in 2014 and 2015.


Under England’s new coach Mark Robinson, Beaumont was selected for the World T20 in 2016 held in India, where she opened the batting alongside captain Charlotte Edwards. In the group stage of the tournament, her quickfire 31 helped her team secure a win in a low-scoring thriller and she bagged the Player of the Match award.

Beaumont was the Player of the Series when England emerged as champions at home in the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup. She made 410 runs in the tournament and was one of the pillars of England's success.


In 2018, she recorded her maiden T20 hundred against South Africa in a tri-series competition, in which England posted the highest score in women’s T20Is (250). In 2019 she was awarded a full central contract by the ECB.

In March 2021, Beaumont overtook Meg Lanning atop the ICC player rankings for batters and in January 2022 she was named as the ICC Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year for 2021. She will be an integral part of the 2022 England Women's Cricket team for the World Cup in New Zealand.


Did you know:

Beaumont, following her heroics in the 2017 ICC World Cup, was awarded an MBE in the Queen's 2018 New Year Honours list.

She was named in the ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year in 2017.

In the 2017 World Cup, she was involved in a 275-run partnership with Sarah Taylor - the highest stand for any wicket in Women's World Cup.
