An experienced veteran of more than 50 all-format international appearances, all-rounder Georgia Elwiss proved instantly instrumental upon signing for The Blaze from Southern Vipers ahead of the 2025 season.

Her signing completed a return to the East Midlands, having previously spent four seasons with Lightning between 2016 and 2019, but her career began more than ten years before that, with her List A debut coming for Staffordshire against Middlesex in July 2004.

Then aged only 13, Elwiss gave an indication of her potential, returning figures of 1/6 from four overs, and continued to play for Staffordshire until 2011, when she made the move south to Sussex.

She would go on to represent her nation in all three formats, with her ODI and T20 bows coming on a tour of South Africa in 2011, and the first of four Test caps following four years later, against Australia in Canterbury.

Elwiss, who also counts stints with Birmingham Phoenix and Welsh Fire in The Hundred among her experience, continued to represent Sussex until 2022, alongside playing four seasons for Vipers under the regional model.

Opting for a return to the East Midlands upon the reorganisation of women’s domestic cricket, she would go on to establish herself as a key member of The Blaze in her first season, scoring a combined 955 runs and taking 17 wickets across formats.
