5 best female cricketers of all-time

#1 Charlotte Edwards

When people look back at the glorious cricket played by the England Women's team a few years ago, the name that flashes across everyone's mind is the genius from Huntingdon, Charlotte Edwards.

Captaining the English side for almost a decade in her 20-year career, Edwards left no stone unturned. From winning the Ashes thrice (2008, 2013, 2014) to lifting World Cup, Edwards achieved it all.

Debuting for the side at the tender age of 16, Edwards stole the limelight as she amassed 12 centuries in the year 1997 with her consistent batting performances. A career filled with crests and troughs, this all-time great holds the record for the fastest to 2500 runs (across genders), showing her domination in the shortest format of the game. Edwards called it a day in 2015, finishing with a career average of 44 in Tests and 38 in ODIs.
