Surrey Sign Ireland’s Amy Hunter for Opening Phase of One-Day Cup

Surrey have bolstered their squad for the Metro Bank One-Day Cup with the signing of Ireland international Amy Hunter. The 19-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is set to feature in the first seven matches of the 50-over competition.

Hunter, already a seasoned international with 36 ODIs and 43 T20Is to her name, recently impressed at the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier, where she scored 201 runs at an average of 40.20 — finishing as Ireland’s second-highest run-scorer in the tournament.

Hunter first rose to global prominence in 2021 when she became the youngest player to score a century in international cricket, striking an unbeaten 121 against Zimbabwe in Harare on her 16th birthday.

Surrey’s director of women’s cricket, Emma Calvert, expressed her excitement at the signing.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Amy into our environment,” Calvert said. “She is a talented young cricketer who has been in impressive form for the Irish national team. Amy adds depth to our squad in the wicketkeeping department, and I’m confident she will be a great signing for the team in the opening block of the season.”

Speaking on her move, Hunter said she is eager to embrace the challenge of English domestic cricket.
“I can’t wait to join up with the Surrey squad and get a taste of English domestic cricket,” she said. “It’s an exciting opportunity for me to share a dressing room with an incredibly experienced group that plays an expansive brand of cricket. I am hoping to contribute to the club’s success early in the season.”

Hunter’s signing further strengthens Surrey’s squad, which already includes Australian all-rounder Grace Harris, who will feature as the club’s overseas player in the Vitality Blast.
