Zara Craig has been in sparkling form this season for Loughborough UCCE in England.

The former Irish U-19 international has scored 177 runs at an average of 35.40 in a consistent start to the campaign.

The highlight for the 22-year-old student has been an unbeaten 54 against Lancaster, while also making 30's against the Blaze Academy, and 20's against Durham and Northhamptonshire.

Craig started her career with Eglinton in the North West, before moving to Leinster in an attempt to improve her game at Phoenix.

She has also featured regularly in the Super Series, playing last years with the Typhoons as well as in the Women's Championship with Derbyshire.

If she keeps up this form she may well come to the attention of the Irish selectors and Head Coach Lloyd Tennant.
