“Having played for my country for years, it was always my dream to play cricket abroad and experience a different level of the game,” she told gsport.
She believes that the knowledge she will gain in England will make a huge difference and change back home.
Kejarukua becomes the third African female cricket player to be signed by a club in England after the Zimbabwean duo of Josephine Nkomo and Modester Mupachikwa were signed by South Northumberland and Spencer Cricket Club, respectively.
