The 24 year old is a slow left-arm spinner who has made a name for herself in world cricket with her accuracy and economy. Currently ranked No. 1-ranked bowler in T20I’s, Sophie Ecclestone has also fared very well in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023.
Having featured in more than 70 matches, Ecclestone has taken over 90 wickets in a short span. She not only has the knack of getting rid of the opposition batters but also boasts the ability to bowl economical spells.

She is also a solid all rounder who is more than handy with the bat. UP Warriorz Women have a gem of a combination at their hands with the pairing of Deepti Sharma and Sophie Ecclestone seeming to be the best in business. It remains interesting to see if the duo can combine to threaten opposition batters in WPL 2023.
