Charlie Dean

Charlotte Ellen Dean (born 22 December 2000) is an English cricketer who currently plays for Somerset and London Spirit.

She took five wickets on her debut for the Portsmouth Grammar School boys’ first XI in 2017, a year after captaining Hampshire Under-15s to victory in the Royal London County Cup.

[6][7] In 2018, Hampshire won Division 1 of the County Championship, with Dean contributing 163 runs, including her List A high score of 73 against Kent.

[17][18] In 2021, Dean played four matches in the Vipers' successful defence of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, taking 10 wickets at an average of 13.80.

[26] In 2023, she played 12 matches for Southern Vipers, across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup, taking 18 wickets.

[29] In 2024, she played nine matches for Southern Vipers, across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup, scoring one half-century and taking 15 wickets.

[37] She went on to be the joint-leading wicket-taker in the five-match series, with 10 wickets, including taking 4/36 in the 2nd ODI to help England to a 13-run victory.

[40] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut on 20 January 2022, for England against Australia, although the match was abandoned after 4.1 overs due to rain.

[47] In September 2022, she played all three matches of England's ODI series against India, taking three wickets and scoring 108 runs.

[49] The following day, in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final, Dean "playfully" pretended to recreate the run out whilst bowling.

[62] In April 2024, during the 1st ODI on England's tour of New Zealand, Dean became the fastest bowler to take 50 WODI wickets, doing so in 26 matches.

In the same match, alongside Amy Jones, she also broke the record for the highest 7th wicket partnership in WODIs with an unbroken 130-run stand.

[64][65] In June, Dean took 4/38 in nine overs as England defeated New Zealand by nine wickets at the Riverside Ground, Durham, in the first ODI of a three-match series.
