What's their role in the team?
Right-arm medium fast bowler
As England's most senior bowler, Cross' experience will be vital during the pressure of The Ashes.
Most memorable moment
It's hard to look past Kate Cross’ incredible debut in 2014 against Australia.
Late on day three, she took out three of the Aussie's top order batters before finishing the match on 6-70, securing England's win.
Off the field
Cross belongs to a family of lawyers and sportspeople, so we imagine she's almost as good at arguing as she is at cricket.
The clan includes footballer dad David Cross, who won the FA Cup with West Ham in 1980. Despite David's celebrated football career, both Kate and her brother pursued cricket at Lancashire.
