Maia Bouchier

Maia Emily Bouchier, born on December 5, 1998, in Kensington, Middlesex, England, is a right-handed top-order batter and occasional right-arm medium bowler for the England women's cricket team. She began her career with Middlesex before switching to Hampshire and Southern Vipers in 2018, where she became a mainstay opener. Bouchier earned her international debut in a T20I against New Zealand in September 2021, quickly establishing herself with consistent performances. Educated at Oxford Brookes University, she aimed to emulate Nat Sciver and shone in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, helping Vipers win titles. By 2026, at age 27, she also plays for Southern Brave in The Hundred and Melbourne Stars in WBBL.

Bouchier has played 18 ODIs, scoring 482 runs at an average of 37.08 including a maiden century (100* off 88 balls) against New Zealand in 2024 to seal a series win. In 45 T20Is, she amassed 738 runs at a strike rate of 121.39, with a highest of 91, plus 2 wickets. Her domestic form peaked in 2023 with 518 runs for Vipers across formats, featuring five half-centuries during their double triumph. Known for power-hitting, as seen in her 95 off 65 against Sri Lanka, she remains a vital opener for England. Currently ranked highly in ICC T20I batting, Bouchier continues to thrive internationally.
