Interview with Ebony Rainford-Brent

Ebony Rainford-Brent played cricket for Surrey and was part of England’s World Cup-winning team in 2009. She spoke to Sue Anstiss about her journey from growing up in Brixton to elite-level cricket

SA I would imagine that you have always been into your sport. Did you play a lot of sports at school? Why was it cricket that you eventually focused on?

ERB In secondary school in particular, I played basketball and athletics at English schools level, squash, netball… I played loads of sports, but there was a lady called Jenny who became my mentor and she had her mind set on making me a cricketer. She just did everything. She got me scholarships. She’d drive me up to training all around the country. She was just amazing, so it was kind of her passion for keeping me hooked in the game that was the driver.
