Freya Alexandra Sargent (born 21 January 2006) is an Irish cricketer who plays for the Ireland women's cricket team and Typhoons. [1] [2]
She is an off-spinner and right-handed batter who primarily plays as a bowler for the national team.
In 2023 she was part of the Ireland U-19 Women's side that took part in the 2023 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup where she picked up 4 wickets. [3]
Sargent plays her club cricket for Clontarf.
Sargent received her first senior call up when she was named in the Typhoons squad for the 2020 season. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Irish women's domestic Super Series was limited to eight List A games only,with no T20 fixtures taking place. [4]
She made her List A debut on 3 August 2020 for Typhoons against Scorchers at Oak Hill aged just 14. [5]
Sargent would make her T20 debut at the same ground just over a year later on 8 August 2021,again against Scorchers. [6]
She would appear sporadically for Typhoons in 2022 before receiving a call-up for the 2023 Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup late that year. [7] In Ireland's opening game of the tournament against West Indies she would return figures of 2/9 and hit 15*(11) to take Ireland just seven runs short of what would have been a famous victory. [8] [9]
After beating Indonesia, [10] Ireland would qualify for the Super Sixes stage but not win any further games in the competition.
2023 would prove to be a breakthrough year for Sargent. In March she was announced as a recipient of a casual contract from Cricket Ireland [11] and two months later she won Player of the Match for her 4/15 in a victory against Scorchers in a Super 20 Trophy match at Anglesea Road. [12]
A first call up to the Ireland senior team would come in August for a three match T20I series against the Netherlands. Head Coach Ed Joyce noted that "Freya Sargent has impressed at youth international and Super Series level and has earned a call-up...she also performed well at the Under-19s World Cup at the start of the year,so I have no doubt she'll be well positioned for a step up in standard.” [13]
She made her WT20I debut in the first match of the series on 14 August,going wicketless from her four overs. [14] [15] A maiden international wicket would come two days later in the second game as she bowled Babette de Leede. [16]
Sargent's WODI debut came against Scotland in October at Desert Springs in Spain. She picked up two wickets, [17] followed by another two scalps in the second match. [18] However injury would force her to sit out the third ODI and the subsequent T20I series. [19]
Her return came during Ireland's tour of Zimbabwe in January 2024 where she took her ODI best figures of 3/29 in a 10 wicket win over Zimbabwe in the first ODI. [20]
Sargent was named in the Ireland squad for their T20I and ODI tour to Bangladesh in November 2024. [21] [22]
