She scored hundreds in both the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and Charlotte Edwards Cup, the latter - 111 not out - coming in a T20 victory over Sunrisers at Emirates Old Trafford.

She was also North West Thunder's leading run-scorer in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with 237 runs including her List A high score of 121. A depleted South African bowling attack without the injured Shabnim Ismail and Dane van Niekerk struggled for consistency and Lamb was able to dominate, knowing she had a below-par total to attack. Representing Bramhall CC alongside her brother Danny, himself a pro with Lancashire, the brother-sister duo contributed a combined 61 runs to their side’s total of 139 before helping to bowl opponents Neston out for 118. In each new design I love to explore fresh and playful combinations of colour, pattern and texture while drawing inspiration from the Scandinavian aesthetic, mid-century design and my everyday life.Emma never envisioned herself being selected to play for the world cup team, so she was somewhat taken aback. But Bramhall, or Alderley Edge where I play now, are really supportive and clubs have opened their eyes and seen I’m good enough. I was part of the preparation and warm-up in the England bubble, which was a good learning experience, but I didn’t get to do an awful lot of playing," she says.

She participated in matches for England’s women’s academy against Australia Shooting Stars and Sri Lanka. They next meet on Friday for the second ODI in Bristol, while three T20Is follow at the conclusion of the 50-over series. Normally I open but I was batting at six or seven, and with the bowling, they needed to bowl the players they were actually going to play so I didn’t get many opportunities.

She played for the England women's academy in matches against Sri Lanka A and Australia Shooting Stars. However, by her own admission her 2020 season was disappointing, the highs of earning a pair of professional contracts and earning a spot in England’s summer training squad – one of only three uncapped players selected – offset by the lows of her limited time in the middle. Meanwhile in 2017, aged just 19, she was instrumental in Lancashire’s Women’s County Championship and T20 Cup triumphs, scoring 333 runs and collecting 13 wickets across the two competitions. She played in a commanding win over New Zealand at Chelmsford, with her only contribution walking to the crease and not facing a ball as England posted 184-4 batting first.

It’s sadly clear that we have a long way yet to go in dismantling age-old levels of misogyny and double standards in society.It means England lead the multi-format series 4-2 following off the back of the drawn Test match between the two sides. On occasion ‘pretty’ does take precedence since crochet is such a therapeutic craft its practical application can often be found in the making process alone. In December 2021, Lamb was named in England's A squad for their tour to Australia, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes.
