She scored 323 runs, including twin fifties on Charlotte Edwards Cup finals day with 76 against Thunder and 50 against The Blaze as she helped her side lift the trophy for the second year running.
On international duty, Wyatt made her Test debut, 13 years after making her England debut, and she scored her maiden Test half-century as wickets fell around her at Trent Bridge.
She finished the Women’s Ashes with 272 runs to her name with a best of 76 off 46 balls coming at The Oval in the second IT20 which saw England spark a comeback as they won both the IT20 and ODI legs of the series.
