Kate Coppack: Essex Seamer Swaps Law for full -time cricket agreement
Apart from the final of last summer, Coppack has a couple of other more important results on his CRICKET CV.
When she was 13, she became the first girl to play for the first XI at Chester’s King’s School and also did six apparitions as a guest in Peru at the South American women’s cricket championship of 2018.
But now, following a training field in Abu Dhabi, everything is oriented towards the axis cup of the ASSEX in Durham on Wednesday 23 April.
“We have always had some full -time professionals (for the Sunrisers), but now some of those girls who juggled with their career playing partially are now full -time, which is excellent for them,” said the director of the axis team Andy Tennant.
“It gives them the opportunity to satisfy their potential and I know they will be even more enthusiastic than full -time professionals. We can’t wait to have a whole collective that we have every day of the week to train.
“In the end, the female game will have to stand alone. This is the next step for the home game to start getting more seats on the places here in Chelmsford and earning our corn, if you want, at the top of the investment of the ECB that has already entered the game.”
Tennant hopes that the improvement of the Sunrisers in 2024, which brought their first large trophy, can be continued by Essex, who signed many other members of their team, apart from the Cup.
“We just want to be competitive in all formats: we will focus on doing what we do well and, we hope, at some point, someone will give us some silverware,” he added.
The handyman Eva Gray believes that the fact that the members of the team have taken “different paths” to reach this point is a strong point.
“We have people who were not full time until about a week ago, but also people who have been full time for five or six years,” he said.
“For the whole era of Sunrisers, we were all quite understanding different scenarios and commitments of people. Now, for us to put together as a great full -time team is really the key. We can’t wait to see the progress we can do.”
For Coppack, as one of the team’s older members, it remains to see how old wants to engage in professional game.
But he added: “There is a lot of time to be a lawyer, for now we will enjoy the cricket”.
