Chloe Abel

Chloe Grace Abel is a highly talented Australian-born cricketer who has become a key bowling spearhead for the Scotland women’s national cricket team. Born on December 3, 2003, in Hobart, Tasmania, she initially rose through the ranks in her hometown, turning professional with the Tasmanian Tigers and securing a replacement player role for the Hobart Hurricanes. Operating as a discipline-focused, right-arm medium bowler and a handy lower-order right-handed batter, Abel eventually moved to the United Kingdom to play for Middlesex. Her talent quickly caught the eye of Scottish selectors, earning her a maiden international call-up. Beyond her stellar achievements on the field, she remarkably balances her demanding sports career with a part-time Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of Tasmania, exemplifying an outstanding work ethic and dedication.

Since making her senior international Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut against Italy in September 2023, Abel has transformed into a reliable wicket-taking option for Scotland across both white-ball formats. She achieved her One Day International (ODI) debut against the United States in April 2024, immediately helping her squad navigate major global assignments, including earning selection for the prestigious 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Known for keeping an impressively tight economy rate, she etched a career-defining moment during the 2025 Women's Emerging Nations Trophy, where she tore through Papua New Guinea's batting lineup to collect phenomenal career-best figures of 5 for 13. Armed with an excellent big-match temperament and lethal consistency, Abel continues to feature prominently in Scotland's major global campaigns as a vital building block for the national team's future.
