Western Storm played all of their Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Trophy matches at the ground in 2020, with Knight also a former Gloucestershire Women player.

Knight said: “It is great to see Gloucestershire Cricket welcoming Western Storm in Bristol. We all feel part of the club and its history.

Regional director of women’s cricket, Lisa Pagett, said: “It is fantastic to see the inclusion of Heather and the Western Storm team as part of the street art at the Bristol County Ground.
“Everyone at Gloucestershire Cricket has been welcoming and supportive of the Western Storm team and this is an extension of that.
“Every Storm fan that will now visit the ground will see their heroes on the wall and hopefully this is something that female stars of the future can aspire to be a part of.”
