Katie Levick’s move to Durham is a significant boost for the club, coming on the heels of her stellar performance with the Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred 2024.
With 10 wickets from 7 innings, Levick’s prowess as a top-tier leg-spinner is evident, and her upcoming three-year deal with Durham ahead of the 2025 season brings a wealth of experience to the team.
Over her career, she has consistently proven herself, amassing 34 wickets across 28 matches in The Hundred where she played for the Phoenix in the 2023 and 2024 editions while for the Northern Superchargers in the first two editions. She has picked 63 wickets for the Northern Diamonds over two seasons, solidifying her status as one of domestic cricket’s most successful bowlers.
Durham’s decision to bring Levick on board marks a significant milestone as they look to strengthen their women’s team. Her consistent performances, including 15 wickets in the current Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, make her a formidable force on the field, one who will undoubtedly elevate the team’s competitive edge.
Expressing her enthusiasm about joining Durham, Levick said, “I’m delighted to be joining Durham in this historic new chapter at the club. The North East has a long proud history of sporting achievements, and to now add women’s professional cricket to that is something I can’t wait to be even a small part.”
She further added, “Marcus and the whole staff at Durham have such a passionate vision for this squad and era of women’s cricket, it’s simply an honour to be involved. The desire to compete at the highest level still motivates and excites me, I hope to bring silverware and success to the county with the amazing group of players we’re assembling.”
Director of Cricket, Marcus North also shared his excitement by stating, “Katie’s achievements with the ball for many years have been outstanding, and her domestic record is one of the best in the Country. She will bring a wealth of experience to Durham and will play an integral part in establishing our Women’s Team on and off the field.”
Levick’s move to Durham marks a new and exciting chapter for both her and the club. With her experience and proven talent, she is set to make a significant impact on the team. Levick’s leadership and passion for the game will be invaluable as Durham looks to build a strong future in women’s cricket.
