She plays primarily as an opening batter and occasional wicket-keeper. She has previously played for Surrey Stars,Adelaide Strikers,Southern Vipers,Sydney Thunder and London Spirit.
Beaumont was part of England's winning 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup team,and was the leading run-scorer in the tournament. She was subsequently named player of the tournament,and awarded an MBE in recognition of her achievements. In 2019,she was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year. She is also one of only two women in history to score a century in all three international formats,and holds the record for the highest individual score by an English woman in Test cricket (208).
Beaumont was born in Dover,Kent. [1] She began playing cricket in nearby Sandwich, [2] [3] where she also attended Sir Roger Manwood's School. [4] When she was eight years old,her mother,Julie,secured her very first selection in a cricket team. [1] Beaumont's brother,Michael,was captain of an Under-11 side coached by her father,Kevin,a research scientist. As Beaumont later explained to Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2019: [1]
"My mum tells the story quite proudly ... They were struggling for numbers. I sat on dad's armchair, looked at his notes and said: 'But I bowl better than him and I bat better than him! Why can't I play?' Dad looked at mum, who said: 'She’s right.' So then they had to pick me."
Before long, Beaumont, her brother and her father were all taking the field for the Sandwich Town Second XI, for which her father played as an off spin bowler. [1] [2] According to Beaumont: [1]
"Michael was a very good fielder, so he'd be at cow corner and I'd be keeping ... The number of times it was 'stumped or caught Beaumont, bowled Beaumont' was ridiculous."
As a child, Beaumont suffered from food allergies that slowed her growth. She was therefore not selected for Kent's Under-11 cricket team. On her mother's initiative, she took up gymnastics with the aim of building up her muscles, and eventually became a National Schools Gymnastics Champion. [1] [5] [6] After leaving school, she studied chemistry and sports science at Loughborough University. [1]
In early 2007, Beaumont made her debut for Kent, batting at number five and scoring 13 not out. [7] Her first match for the county as wicket-keeper came two months later as Kent hosted Nottinghamshire, and Beaumont claimed two stumpings and a run out. [8] Later that summer, she was named in the England Development Squad side for the European Championship. She played in two matches, against Netherlands and Ireland, and made 7 & 8 respectively. [9] [10]
Beaumont continued to make regular appearances for Kent through the 2008 and 2009 seasons, and scored her maiden century in August 2009, hitting 136 off 144 balls to help set up a 184 run victory for Kent against the visiting Surrey side. [11] The following month she was called up to the England squad to tour the West Indies, as Sarah Taylor withdrew from the squad to focus on her studies. [12] She made her international debut in the first One Day International of the tour, at Basseterre, on 4 November 2009.
She is the holder of one of the first tranche of 18 ECB central contracts for women players, which were announced in April 2014.

In August 2023, Beaumont became the first woman to score a century in The Hundred, scoring 118 for Welsh Fire. It is also the highest individual score in the history of either the men's or women's competition. [22]
At the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, Beaumont and Sarah Taylor scored the highest partnership for any wicket in Women's Cricket World Cup history, scoring 275 against South Africa.

[23] Beaumont went on to win the 2017 World Cup with England, and was voted player of the tournament, as the leading run-scorer, with 410 runs.
