Isabelle Westbury
Summary
Isabelle Mary Geraldine Westbury (born 8 March 1990) is a sports writer, broadcaster, lawyer and former cricketer. As a cricketer, she played as a right-arm off break bowler, playing for Somerset and Middlesex, as well as being part of the Western Storm squad in 2016. She captained Middlesex for two seasons, in 2015 and 2016. She also appeared in one One Day International for the Netherlands in 2005, whilst attending school in the country.
She was President of the Oxford Union in 2011–12. She finished playing cricket in 2017, and has since worked as a print and broadcast journalist, specialising in cricket, law and politics, writing for The Daily Telegraph and broadcasting for the BBC. She is also a financial crime lawyer.
Born in Hammersmith, London, Westbury experienced a nomadic childhood, living in Mongolia, Malaysia, Easter Island and Syria before arriving in the Netherlands. She attended The British School in the Netherlands from 2001 to 2006. It was in the Netherlands that she first started playing cricket, after being prevented from playing club football alongside boys beyond the age of 13, at the "very traditional club" near her house.
Westbury studied for an undergraduate degree in Physiology at Hertford College, Oxford, graduating in 2013. In addition to her cricket career, she also played hockey for Oxford, achieving her Blue by playing in the Varsity Hockey Match against Cambridge in March 2010. In 2011, she was elected as President of the Oxford Union, having earlier served as the society's secretary, and has been described as "the most engaging president that the Oxford Union has had in years".
At the age of thirteen, Westbury began to play boys cricket for The Hague Cricket Club, and at the age of fourteen she was picked for the national side, making her first appearance at the 2004 European Under-21 Championships.
In 2005, aged 15, Westbury represented the senior Netherlands side for the first time during the 2005 European Championship in Wales.
Westbury started at Millfield School in Street, Somerset in 2006 on a sports scholarship.
