Lauren Bell made her England debut only in June 2022 with a Test match against South Africa in Taunton and since then, she hasn't looked back. In five matches, she has accounted for 18 wickets at an impeccable average of 24.11 with a couple of four-wicket hauls to her name.

Lauren Bell has also played for England in 31 ODIs and 36 T20Is accounting 44 and 50 wickets respectively. She has made her name in swinging the new ball prodigiously and is set to dominate women's cricket with the ball in the next few years. Bell averages 30.54 and 18.34 in ODIs and T20Is respectively which proves she is the next big thing in England cricket

Lauren Bell has also played for Southern Brave in the Hundred. In 41 matches so far, she has picked up 60 wickets at an impeccable average of 14.91 at an economy of 6.81. The numbers are staggering, to say the least but she has featured in the Women's Big Bash League for Sydney Thunder in only a couple of games, picking up only one wicket.

Interestingly, Lauren Bell was with the UP Warriorz in the inaugural edition of the WPL. However, she didn't get to play a single match. RCB snapped her up in the WPL 2026 auction and the fast bowler has done wonders for her side apart from leaving the RCB and cricket fans stunned with her looks and smile.
