The Surrey Stars have prepared a team that is filled with immense talent for the Kia Super League. The team is undoubtedly the best in the league and will be captained by Tammy Beaumont who earned the Player of the Tournament award in the Recently concluded ICC Women’s World Cup. She will be joined by teammates Laura Marsh, Alex Hartley and Natalie Sciver making the team a formidable force.

To add to that Indian star batsman Harmanpreet Kaur who played a rampant 171 run inning in the semi final of the World Cup will also be a part of the 15 player squad for the five group stage matches. Another notable name in the team is South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp who also has a tournament to remember. Both Harmanpreet and Kapp were a part of the ICC World Cup XI that was released recently by the board.
