Lee-Ann Kirby

Lee-Ann Giselle Laureel Kirby (born 7 April 1987) is a West Indian former women's cricketer from Trinidad and Tobago who played six times for the West Indies women's cricket team in 2008, all against the Netherlands. An all-rounder, Kirby is a right-handed batsman, and also bowls slow-medium pace deliveries.^[1]

Kirby made her debut for the West Indies in early July 2008, when she travelled to the Netherlands with the squad. Her debut came on 1 July, in a Twenty20 International,^[1] but Kirby did not bat or bowl during a seven wicket win for her side.^[2] The next day, she made her One Day International debut, at the same ground in Utrecht. She batted at number eight, scoring 21 not out from 24 balls to help her side reach 239/6. She then bowled two overs without taking a wicket.^[3] The following day, the teams played another ODI in Utrecht. Kirby was the seventh bowler used by the West Indies, but eventually bowled five overs, taking two wickets and conceding twelve runs, to help guide her side to a 20 run victory.^[4] The tour then moved to Deventer; in the Twenty20 International match she scored five runs and took a wicket,^[5] but she struggled to impress in either of the final two ODIs, and did not appear for the West Indies again. She continued to play for Trinidad and Tobago until August 2015 in the West Indies Cricket Board Regional Women's Championship.^[1]
