Carol Mary Valentine (26 November 1906 – January 1992) is an English former cricketer who played as a right-arm medium bowler. She appeared in one Test match, the first in history, for England in 1934 against Australia. She played domestic cricket for local and regional teams, including teams representing the South of England and the Midlands. Valentine also played lacrosse. Her brother, Bryan also played test cricket for England.[1][2]
Domestic career
At the domestic level, Valentine played for various local, regional and composite XIs.[6] She played three matches between 1930 and 1933 for the Women's Cricket Association.[7] In the first match against Michael Singleton's XI, Valentine was the best bowler for her side, picking up 4 wickets for 20 runs.[8] In the second match against J Singleton's XI, she scored 4 runs and remained not out when the team declared their innings. Valentine was not given the chance to bowl and the match ended in a draw.[9] She played her last match for the Women's Cricket Association a year later, conceding 20 runs without taking any wickets.[10]
