Darcie Brown (T20 Cricket) was the youngest member of the women’s cricket team that won the inaugural gold medal at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The tearaway fast bowler – who first signed with the Adelaide Strikers when she was only 16 – was born in Kapunda, a small town in South Australia’s Barossa Valley. She played a variety of sports, including basketball, cricket, netball, Australian football and tennis at representative level before eventually deciding on cricket. She moved to Adelaide in Year 11 on a netball scholarship with Henley High School and was also offered a place at the Adelaide Crows AFL Academy.

Darcie made her T20 debut for Australia against New Zealand in March 2021 and was also part of Australia’s squad that claimed the Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand in 2022.
