Surrey has confirmed the signing of Irish international Amy Hunter.

The 19-year-old will be part of their squad for the first seven games of their Metro Bank Cup campaign.

Hunter has won 80 caps for Ireland since her debut as a 15-year-old against Scotland in 2021.

The teenager holds the record for the youngest ODI centurion, and joining the London club will go some way to make up for the disappointment of missing out on World Cup qualification in Pakistan last week.

“I can’t wait to join up with the Surrey squad and get a taste of English domestic cricket," Hunter told the Surrey website.

"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.”
