Bio:
From a young age, Gibson did it all. She played tennis, smashed school sports records, and was a national age-group-level hockey player. Like many girls with older brothers, her cricket story started with back garden cricket before her father, Mike, took her along to a Friday night club session at Dumbleton Cricket Club in Gloucestershire when she was nine years old. She was soon picked up by the Gloucestershire County Pathways, where she progressed through the age groups and was selected for the emerging players programme. At 15, she was playing both cricket and hockey at England age-group levels but made the decision to pursue cricket.
In the inaugural season of The Hundred, Gibson was signed by London Spirit and scored 108 runs at an impressive strike rate of 180. She made her debut for the England women’s cricket team in a T20 match against Australia. In her 15 matches so far for England in T20Is, she played one of the remarkable cameos, scoring 41 off 21 against Pakistan in their home series after the team lost their top order early. England went on to win the match by 53 runs. Danielle Gibson has also been part of the Adelaide Strikers in the WBBL.
The English bowling all-rounder has been handy both with bat and ball and has shown the potential to be a mainstay in the England setup for years to come.
