Josie Groves is an England legbreak bowler who bats right-handed. She operates as a specialist spinner, using the googly as a variation to her primary legbreak.
Groves has appeared in England's ODI squad, accumulating 337 runs across the format. Her role in the side is defined by her bowling, where she brings the attacking threat of legbreak spin - a discipline that demands precision, patience, and the ability to turn the ball both ways.
As a legbreak-googly bowler, Groves operates in a tradition of English spinners tasked with taking wickets in the middle overs and building pressure through flight and turn. The googly, bowled with the same action as the legbreak but breaking in the opposite direction, gives her a second string to deceive batters.
Her career remains active within the England system, where competition for places in the spin department is consistently fierce.
