The Most Promising Young Female Cricketer

The Most Promising Young Female Cricketer of the Year Award

2026 Winner: Tilly Corteen-Coleman

The winner of our award for the Most Promising Young Female Cricketer is decided by The Cricket Society Executive Committee.

This year's winner is Tilly Corteen-Coleman. 

Tilly is a left-arm spinner who represents Surrey and Southern Brave. She burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old in 2024, becoming the youngest ever player in The Hundred and taking the wicket of Meg Lanning with her fourth ball in the competition.

The 2026 summer was a special one for Tilly, as she earned her maiden call-up to the England team - the only uncapped player selected in Charlotte Edwards’ T20 World Cup squad. She made her ODI and T20 debuts for England in May and was the joint leading wicket-taker in The Hundred.

Tilly, pictured above, was unable to attend The Cricket Society's Awards Lunch at the Union Jack Club, London, on Wednesday, 11th November, but sent a video message which was played to attendees at the lunch.
