It was entirely unsurprisingly when Naomi Dattani was named among the first wave of players to receive a professional domestic contract in 2020. 

The hard-hitting allrounder came through Middlesex's youth system and made her first-team debut in 2008 when she was just 14 years old.

Over the next decade-and-a-half, she would go on to captain her county as well as representing Surrey Stars, Western Storm (Kia Super League), London Spirit (The Hundred) and England Women's Academy among others. 

Between 2020 and 2022, she was among the standout performers in a poor Sunrisers side, scoring 376 runs and taking six wickets in 19 List A outings and a further 226 runs and nine wickets in a dozen T20 appearances. 

She joined Thunder ahead of the 2023 season.
