Women’s Hundred | Davina Perrin becomes the youngest signed player in the Tournament

A 15-year-old Davina Perrin has become the youngest player to receive a contract in Women's Hundred Tournament history. She will join the Birmingham Phoenix from the 2022 season. 

She graduated from the Ebony Rainford-Brent's ACE programme, managed by former cricketer Ebony Rainford, which has a motive to develop Black cricketers. 

Perrin expressed happiness to have the opportunity to play alongside experienced cricketers like Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, and Amy Jones. 

"It's a dream come true to have signed for Birmingham Phoenix this summer," Perrin said. "To have the opportunity to train and potentially play alongside the likes of Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, and Amy Jones is amazing, and I can't wait to get going."

She played for the Central Sparks team, who emerged as a runner-up in the 2022 edition of the Charlotte Edwards Cup and contributed 30 runs at an average of 15. 

In the ongoing Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, Perrin started with a contribution of 22 in the opening fixture of Sparks.
