Maitlan Joy Brown (born 5 June 1997) is an Australian cricketer. She plays as a right-arm fast bowler [1] and right-handed batter for the New South Wales Breakers in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL), and for the Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL). [2] [3] [4]
Brown was born on 5 June 1997 in Taree, New South Wales, and grew up in nearby Wingham. [5] [6] She has generated some attention for a skill that has been described as "bizarre", namely her ability to speak and sing with her mouth shut. She has said that she taught herself the skill as a child, while sitting in the car on long road trips with her family. [7] She can also juggle. [8]
In addition to pursuing success on the cricket field, Brown is keen on designing. [9] [10] She is studying industrial design at the University of Canberra, [11] and runs her own business, called Six Stitch Design. [11] [12]
As a youngster, Brown was part of the New South Wales academy and played for various youth teams before being released in 2016. She was then signed by the ACT Meteors on a rookie contract and ended up playing all six matches for the team in the 2016–17 WNCL season. She also joined the Melbourne Renegades for WBBL|02, and produced "several exciting cameos" including 30 off 15 balls against the Sydney Sixers. [13] [14] [15] [16]
In WBBL|03, Brown was the Renegades' second-highest wicket-taker with 15 scalps. [17] She was included in the 2018 Women's National Performance Squad. [18]
She finished as the Renegades' second-highest wicket-taker in WBBL|05 with 16 wickets but was unable to prevent the team losing to the Brisbane Heat in the semi-final. [19] [20]
On 6 November 2020, Brown was ruled out of the remainder of the WBBL|06 season with a hamstring problem which also kept her out of the 2020–21 WNCL season. [21] [22]
On 12 May 2021, it was announced that Brown had moved from the Meteors to the New South Wales Breakers, the state side for which she had played at academy level. [3] [23]
In April 2017, she toured Sri Lanka with the Australia A squad, and in August 2017 she was one of eight players named in Cricket Australia's inaugural Women's National Performance Squad. [13] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract with the National Performance Squad ahead of the 2019–20 season. [24]
In August 2020, Brown was named in Australia's limited-overs squads for their home series against New Zealand. [25]
In August 2021, Brown was named in Australia's squad for their series against India, which included a one-off day/night Test match as part of the tour. [26] In January 2022, Brown was named in Australia's A squad for their series against England A, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes. [27]
