‘Top-class’ Gordon commits to Scotland return

More than eight years after moving to England, Kirstie Gordon has committed her future to Scotland.

The 28-year-old slow left-arm bowler made 60 appearances for Scotland before choosing to work in English professionally for the rest of his days.

She played five games for England in the 2018 Women’s T20 World Cup as they finished second overall. She was born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire.

A 2019 Test match against Australia was also made for Gordon.

The Blaze captain is currently recovering from a back injury and aiming to start the 2026 domestic season.

Gordon, who was just 14 when she made her blue international debut, said, “It’s always been in the back of my mind in the last couple of years.

“It has helped that I have Craig Wallace as my head coach.” I feel like I’ve really connected with him and his team’s vision after speaking with him a few times.

In her decision to “come home,” Gordon says that she also plays for Scotland’s Kathryn Bryce and Sarah Bryce, both of whom he claims.

Scots no longer qualify as international players in light of Gordon’s experience, which led to a rule change in the English domestic game.

Wallace praised Scotland for their preparation for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal in January, adding: “It’s exciting to hear Kirstie is now available for selection.

She is undoubtedly a top-notch player and outstanding person.
