Ecclestone puts herself on Lord's honours board with five-wicket haul

Sophie Ecclestone has etched her name into the history of women's cricket. The England spinner has become the first English woman to be honoured on the Lord's cricket ground honours board. This board recognizes players who have taken five wickets in an innings or scored a century at the iconic venue.

Ecclestone achieved this feat during the one-off Test match against India, claiming five wickets in India's second innings. This milestone is significant not only for her career but also for English women's cricket. Until now, the Lord's honours board featured only male players and a few international women, but no English woman. With this performance, Ecclestone's name is now permanently displayed among the legends at Lord's.
