Teresa Graves and Beth Harmer have left The Blaze following the expiry of their contracts.

Graves has played 32 List A and 17 T20 regional games for Lightning and The Blaze, scoring over 600 runs and 24 wickets in that time.

She appeared eight times in the Charlotte Edwards Cup for The Blaze in 2024 as the East Midlands outfit secured the short-format trophy for the first time. 

Harmer, another product of Loughborough University’s pathway who represented Lightning before the switch to Trent Bridge, played 20 games for the region across formats, also collecting a T20 winners medal at Derby this year. 

“We’d like to thank both Teresa and Beth for their contributions to our group across their time with us,” James Cutt, The Blaze Director of Cricket, said.

“Both have been part of our squad over several years and have helped us in our transition over the last 24 months.

“They have grown as players and people, and leave with our best wishes for the future.”
