Andrews signs first pro deal with The Blaze

Derbyshire Women & Girls Pathway graduate, Maria Andrews, has signed her first professional deal with The Blaze. 

Andrews, who is on-loan with the Falcons Women, has signed a short-term deal with her parent Club after an impressive winter in which she represented England Under 19s down under in the tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka.

The 18-year-old will remain available for the Falcons when not selected by The Blaze for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Everyone at Derbyshire County Cricket Club would like to congratulate Maria and we look forward to cheering her on in her continued development.
