Essex County Cricket Club is taking bold steps in its women’s cricket program by appointing Danni Warren as performance director and Andy Tennant as team director. This pair, who previously found success with Sunrisers, will guide Essex Women’s transition to Tier 1 status for the upcoming 2024 season. Their leadership is expected to instill the same winning mindset that led Sunrisers to their first Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy this summer.
Warren, who served as the regional director of women’s cricket for London and the East, will focus on creating a high-performance environment. Tennant, a former Scotland international and head coach of Sunrisers, will work on assembling a competitive team. Both are dedicated to establishing Essex Women as a dominant force in domestic cricket.
Warren and Tennant’s Winning Partnership Continues at Essex
Warren and Tennant’s collaboration has already led to a win, helping Sunrisers win their first regional championship earlier this year. Warren’s long experience in women’s cricket, combined with Tennant’s strategic skills, is the base for Essex’s big plans for the future.
Warren’s job at Essex will be important in making sure players and staff get the support they need to do well. Meanwhile, Tennant will be in charge of how the team performs on the field. Both are dedicated to building a good environment that helps develop talent and potential, setting the stage for long-term success.
Essex Eyes Sustainable Success with Tier 1 Status
The rise of Essex to Tier 1 status is a significant turning point for the club and leans heavily on the leadership of Warren and Tennant to make the most out of this prospect. With the ECB having restructured women’s cricket to adopt the men’s county framework, it has given Essex an opportunity to create a long lasting presence.
Referring to the transition alongside the aspirations to change the women’s cricket structure, Tennant stated the following: “This is a great chance to ensure that Essex Women’s cricket becomes one of the best. There will be a focus on establishing a working environment that is conducive for both players and staff”. This principle of sustainable success will also help Essex Women as they advance in their quest to be among the best teams in the country.
