Who is Tamsin Beaumont?

Tamsin Tilley Beaumont is an English cricketer. She opens the batting for Kent Women, and keeps wicket.

She made her debut for Kent in early 2007, batting at number five and scoring 13 not out. Her first match for the county as wicket-keeper came two months later as Kent hosted Nottinghamshire, and Beaumont claimed two stumpings and a run out. Later that summer, she was named in the England Development Squad side for the European Championship. She played in two matches, against Netherlands and Ireland, and made 7 & 8 respectively.

Beaumont continued to make regular appearances for Kent through the 2008 and 2009 seasons, and scored her maiden century in August 2009, hitting 136 of 144 balls to help set up a 184 run victory for Kent against the visiting Surrey side. The following month she was called up to the England squad to tour the West Indies, as Sarah Taylor withdrew from the squad to focus on her studies. She made her international debut in the first One Day International of the tour, at Basseterre, on 4 November 2009.
