NORTHERN Superchargers’ teenage sensation Davina Perrin has been tipped to star for England in next summer’s home T20 World Cup after a breakthrough tournament in The Hundred.

Perrin smashed a scintillating 42-ball century in Saturday’s Eliminator against London Spirit to send Superchargers through to the final with Southern Brave on Sunday — where they won by seven wickets with 12 balls to spare.

The 18-year-old was out cheaply against Brave for 17, but still produced an eye-catching uppercut off Lauren Bell and played a key role in Superchargers’ maiden title with 260 runs in the 100-ball competition with an average of 28.88 at a strike rate of 136.84.

Wolverhampton-born Perrin, who is a graduate of Ebony Rainford-Brent’s ACE (African Caribbean Engagement) programme, was not included in Charlotte Edwards’s England squad for this month’s 50-over World Cup despite a maiden professional 100 in July for Warwickshire.

However, Superchargers team-mate and former Australia international Nicola Carey does not expect it will be long before Perrin — who also blitzed an unbeaten 72 against Trent Rockets — makes her debut for England.

Carey said: “Yeah, she is incredible. Again, is she 18? She’s 18 years old, so to be able to peel off a 100 in a 100-ball competition, I think only one person has done that — Tammy Beaumont — so, now Davs is the second person to.

“It was a ridiculous innings to be honest, a ridiculous game but obviously set up by Dav.

“She has got so much talent and I’m sure we will see her in maybe some England colours in the not-too-distant future.”
