Off the field, she works as a laboratory technician at Solent University in Southampton, England, and as a sport scientist for the GB Speedway Team.
[2] At the age of 11, she was introduced to cricket, in the form of an impromptu France v Rest of the World game at a picnic.
[1] In her mid-teens, Blake lived in the tiny village of Miremont, between Thouars and Bressuire in the Deux-Sèvres department, western France, and attended Lycée Aliénor d'Aquitaine in Poitiers.
[6] In 2017, she moved to the Hursley Park Cricket Club in Hampshire, England, for which she played initially in the Women's 2nd XI, alongside Shami Mosweu, captain of the Botswana national team.
[7] In September 2019, she was a member of the Hursley Park team led by Emily Windsor that won the inaugural Summer Smash T10 tournament at The Oval in South London.
[2] By August 2014,[11] when the then 15-year-old Blake played in that year's annual European women's cricket tournament at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, she had become one of her team's vice-captains,[2] and was being described as "the French teen star".
[2][13] France bagged a total of three 'upset' wins, against Jersey, Denmark and Gibraltar, and finished "an unexpected third", behind Italy and Germany.
In five tournament matches, France went through undefeated, including against favourites Germany and Italy, and thus achieved "... the unthinkable by winning the gold medal".
[3] Blake was always eligible to play cricket for Romania, but for a long time that country had no women's team.
[18][19] The following day, in a T20I against Serbia, Blake became the first woman to score a T20I century for Romania[20] when she made 110* in 61 balls, with 17 fours, to lead the team to its first ever victory, by 145 runs.
In the first match, a playoff against Serbia for third place in the tournament, the team won by seven wickets, with Blake taking 2/7 and scoring 20*.
In October 2022, she commenced working full time as a Laboratory Technician (Sport Science) at Solent University.
