Cranleigh pupil selected for U19 Scotland Cricket squad

Congratulations to Cranleigh School pupil Molly Barbour-Smith on being selected for the Scotland U19 Cricket squad.

Molly will play with the Scotland team in the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier, which sees three matches against the Netherlands in Aberdeen at the start of August. The winners will proceed to the 2025 world cup in Malaysia and Thailand.

Last season, Molly was also called to represent Scotland in the qualifiers for the 2023 World Cup, also playing Netherlands.

Girls' cricket is an increasingly strong part of Cranleigh with the teams having a recently successful season. England Cricket’s Vice-Captain and Old Cranleighan, Ollie Pope, recently visited Cranleigh to open the new Fitness Centre, commenting on how he was impressed by the standard of girls’ cricket at Cranleigh.
