Rebecca Grundy
Rebecca Grundy is an English cricketer and coach, who played for her national cricket team and is now head coach of the Western Australia team.
Grundy is a left-arm spin bowler who was brought into the England squad for the World T20 tournament held in Bangladesh in 2014. On pitches that generally help spin bowlers, Grundy made her England debut in the opening fixture of the tournament and retained her place through all the group matches.
She was the holder of one of the first tranche of 18 ECB central contracts for women players, which were announced in April 2014. In May 2020, she was named as the head coach of the Western Australia women's cricket team.
Grundy's nicknames are "Grunners" and "Carol". In 2015, she explained to sports journalist Clare Balding that the latter nickname was "as in Vorderman – we played Countdown on tour and I was in Carol’s position at the board."
