Women's cricket is brewing with new talent around the world. In 2025, fresh faces are set to transform the sport with exceptional performances in domestic leagues, national junior teams, and international tours. Here's a look at the most exciting prospects to watch this year.
At 24, Amanjot was named Emerging Player of the Season in WPL 2025. She scored 128 runs and claimed 5 wickets in 10 matches, including a standout Player‑of‑the‑Match spell against RCB where she took 3 wickets and finished not out. Her all‑round skills and composure under pressure have made her one of the most valuable prospects in Indian women’s cricket.
At just 21, this right‑arm pacer snared 11 wickets at an economy of 6.45 in WPL 2025. She dismissed several big names such as Harmanpreet Kaur, Georgia Wareham, and Nat Sciver‑Brunt. Her ability to strike early and contain runs bodes well for international selection.
Former India U‑19 captain Prasad showed calm temperament in WPL 2025, scoring 78 runs in limited innings and taking five catches. Her innings of 35 off 33 in a tense chase highlighted her maturity and composure—a quality that will serve her well as she transitions into senior cricket.
Only 16, Kamalini became one of the biggest buys in WPL 2025, fetching ₹1.6 crore. A dynamic wicketkeeping-batter, she excelled in U‑15 and U‑19 tournaments—most notably scoring 79 in the U‑19 tri-series final—and shone during her brief WPL appearances. Her combination of power hitting and glovework makes her a standout.
Already WPL 2024 “Purple Cap” winner with 13 wickets, Patil is becoming a household name. She was shortlisted for ICC Women’s Emerging Cricketer of the Year 2024 and continues to impress with her control, leg‑spin variations, and ability to chip in with useful lower‑order runs.
At 23, this Uttarakhand all-rounder impressed with 29 wickets across domestic tournaments and valuable batting displays. Her first‑class contributions in the Uttarakhand Premier League led to a bidding war, ultimately sealing her with RCB in the WPL 2025 auction.
This 20‑year‑old right‑hander made her India T20I debut in December 2024 and quickly showed potential with a 31 off 22-ball cameo. She was top run-scorer in India A’s Australia tour with three successive fifties and has built a strong reputation in domestic T20 competitions.
Consistent run‑scorer in Uttarakhand’s Senior Women’s T20 Trophy and One‑Day Trophy, including scoring a century in domestic cricket, Kashyap earned a Delhi Capitals contract for WPL 2025. Though yet to debut for India, she looks poised for future selection.
Already capped in ODIs for India—debuting in May 2025 against Sri Lanka—this 21‑year‑old right‑arm medium‑fast bowler took 6 wickets in WPL 2025, including a four‑wicket haul dismissing big names. Her wicket‑to‑average ratio and ability to swing make her a serious pick for India’s future pace battery.
After a dream ODI series debut in Dec 2024 against West Indies (scoring 76 and picking up wickets), Rawal went on to smash 154 against Ireland in January 2025, becoming the fastest Indian woman to 500 ODI runs in just eight innings and breaking Charlotte Edwards' record. She’s a dynamic all‑rounder with huge potential.
Born December 2005, Trisha became the first-ever centurion in a Women’s U‑19 T20 World Cup match in early 2025. Her leg-break bowling and explosive batting combine to make her one of India's most exciting youth talents.
A prolific run-scorer and former India U‑19 captain, Sehrawat led India A and B to titles with high scores and strike rates. Her unbeaten 92 vs South Africa at the U‑19 World Cup and consistent top-order form make her a likely candidate for WPL 2025 and eventual senior selection.
Born in Karachi in August 2005, Nasir bowls slow left-arm orthodox and has wicket-taking ability with strong economy. She claimed 36 wickets in 21 WLA matches at an average of 12.80, including five-wicket hauls. A part of Pakistan’s U‑19 squad and with Pakistan A appearances, she has a contract and continues to climb toward senior representation.
Shawaal debuted in both T20I and ODI for Pakistan in September 2023 and was included in Pakistan’s squad for the 2025 Women’s World Cup Qualifier. Her progression from U‑19 to senior level marks her as one to watch in Pakistan women’s cricket.
Cricket South Africa selected the Emerging Academy Class of 2025, featuring these two as top names. Shangase, a consistent performer for Dolphins, is already touring with South Africa in Sri Lanka. Tunnicliffe leads scoring charts for Western Province in the Hollywoodbets Pro Series. Both have international exposure and will benefit from structured high-performance training.
Though slightly beyond ‘emerging' status, Litchfield has been turning heads since her mid‑teens, scoring a WBBL fifty as a teenager and a senior century against Ireland in 2023. Renowned for her elegant stroke‑play and maturity, she continues to be a strong force in Australia’s women’s cricket setup.
Retained by Brisbane Heat for two more years, Parsons (leg‑spin) and Hamilton (left‑arm fast bowler) are on the brink of making “A” side and senior national squads. Hamilton toured Sri Lanka with U‑19 Australia, while Parsons will make her Australia A debut versus India A.
Now 17, Perrin joins Northern Superchargers for Women's Hundred Season 4 after starting with Birmingham Phoenix. She is one of only three Black players in the league, aiming to inspire others. Trained with Central Sparks and part of Ebony Rainford‑Brent’s ACE programme, she has already represented England at U‑19 level.
Warwickshire’s newly professional women’s program is nurturing local talents. Baker and Wraith are among players being developed through county and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy systems. Their progress is tied to England’s path to deeper professional structure.
This left-arm pacer made headlines during April 2024 with a second T20I hat‑trick against Australia. Her fast pace and control have made her a rising star in Bangladesh cricket.
At 16, Hunter shattered ODI and T20I scoring records: the youngest ever to score an international century and the first Irish woman with centuries in both formats. A wicketkeeper‑batter with enormous potential.
A right‑handed batter from Wellington Blaze, Plimmer earned a spot at the U‑19 Women’s World Cup and was named to the Team of the Tournament. Her consistent domestic record suggests future national team involvement.
Players like Pratika Rawal, Amanjot Kaur, Kamalini, and Prema Rawat contribute with both bat and ball, providing match-changing capability in multiple disciplines.
Trisha Gongadi, Niki Prasad, Shweta Sehrawat, and Amy Hunter have produced standout performances at youth international level (including historic centuries), indicating serious potential.
Kranti Goud (India), Anosha Nasir (Pakistan), Fariha Trisna (Bangladesh), and Lucy Hamilton (Australia) represent exciting developments in pace bowling—not only raw speed but control and consistency.
Shreyanka Patil, Priya Mishra, Prema Rawat, and Anosha Nasir (left-arm spin) all offer wicket-taking threat with clever variations—crucial in modern limited‑overs contexts.
Shweta Sehrawat and Niki Prasad have already led winning national U‑19 teams. Their leadership skills, combined with batting flair, make them future captains’ material.
Davina Perrin’s story and her goal to inspire Black girls in cricket is an important narrative. Fariha Trisna’s hat‑trick against Australia at a youthful age speaks of mental toughness.
The year 2025 is witnessing the arrival of a new generation of women’s cricket stars—from India’s WPL standouts to Pakistan’s young all‑rounders, to Australia’s academy fast‑bowlers, and England’s Hundred recruits.
What ties them all together is performing under pressure—whether through youth tournaments, league cricket, or early international exposure—and the transformative pathways their cricket boards and franchises are building: from domestic contracts to academy systems, leadership programs to professional leagues.
