Wyatt-Hodge is already a World Cup winner with England and has played in the Big Bash League in Australia, as well as in packed stadiums at the Women’s Premier League in India.

She represents Southern Brave in the Hundred and has enjoyed a stellar first season with Surrey, having signed a new contract earlier this month.

Her side go into Sunday’s finals day as favourites, taking their place directly in the final after topping the group stage by 10 points.

They will face the winner of The Blaze and Bears Women, who face each other in the semi-final, and Wyatt-Hodge is keen to finish the job on home turf.

“It’s an honour to play for Surrey and I just really hope we get the job done after a really successful campaign, everyone has turned up at some point at the tournament and that shows the squad depth,” she said.

“It’s been amazing to play in the double-headers with the boys at some of the best grounds in the country.

“For me, playing at The Oval as a batter is a dream. It’s so flat and the outfield is so quick.

“The standard of cricket has been so good. I’ve been around for a long time now and I’ve seen the standard of women’s cricket go through the roof, which is amazing.”
