Sarah Forbes

Shirt number: 68
Sarah’s classical batting technique is eye-catching when she is in form. A player that is yet to find her feet at the top level, she is a reliable fielder and useful off-spinner when called upon, but it is her batting that is responsible for her spot in the senior squad and recent appearances against Sri Lanka and England.

Sarah’s classical batting technique is eye-catching when she is in form. A player that is yet to find her feet at the top level, she is a reliable fielder and useful off-spinner when called upon, but it is her batting that is responsible for her spot in the senior squad and recent appearances against Sri Lanka and England.

A gritty cricketer, few players work harder at their game than Sarah. A versatile player, Forbes can keep, bowl, and field well, although batting is her main skill – she’s the all-round package.

With plans to win over a hundred caps for her country, Sarah aims to emulate her heroes Meg Lanning and Katie Taylor – and her positive and competitive attitude stand her in good stead to do just that.
