'Now is the best time for girls to get into cricket'

Rhia joined her local cricket club when she was 7-years-old and still plays for the team today.

Now she is also part of the Northern Diamonds emerging talent team and hopes her all-rounder skills will mean she can pursue cricket as a career.

She hopes to encourage more girls to get involved in the sport she loves.
