Danni Wyatt-Hodge set to make her move to Surreyfor start of Tier 1 county competition in new era for English cricket.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge will play for Surrey in the new Women’s Tier 1 county competition next season. She has transferred her allegiance from Hampshire-based Southern Vipers.
Wyatt-Hodge, 33, recently played for England in the UAE’s T20 World Cup campaign and is presently playing for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Women’s Big Bash League.
She played with Southampton-based Southern Brave and Southern Vipers in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy last summer.
But for the 2025 season, she has decided to relocate to Surrey, where she will join England’s top-order teammates Alice Capsey and Sophia Dunkley.
“I am both excited and honoured to be joining Surrey,” Wyatt-Hodge said. “The club has an incredible history with a culture of success, which I want to contribute to.
“I love playing at the Kia Oval and can’t wait to entertain the Surrey supporters. The South East Stars’ positive brand of cricket was an important factor in me joining the club and I’m looking forward to getting started!”
Since making her England debut in 2010 at the age of 19, Wyatt-Hodge has participated in 278 games and amassed over 5,000 runs in all three forms. In women’s Twenty20 internationals, she has amassed 2,979 runs from 164 games at a strike-rate of 127.85, making her England’s all-time top performer.
Although she has been stationed at the Utilita Bowl since 2020, she made her county debut for Staffordshire at the age of 14. After leaving UP Warriorz, she is also scheduled to play for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the WPL this year.
“We are incredibly excited that Danni Wyatt-Hodge has agreed to commit to Surrey for the 2025 season,” Emma Calvert, Surrey’s Director of Women’s Cricket, said. “Danni’s career speaks for itself, and we believe she will add strength and depth on the field as well as adding to the team off the field.
“After chatting to Danni it was clear to see that she will be an incredible fit for our new team. They style of cricket she plays is exactly how we want to go about our business, and I am excited to see what she achieves wearing the Three Feathers.”
