Lancashire Women announce signing of Riva Pindoria from Middlesex
Lancashire Cricket Women is delighted to announce the signing of Middlesex top-order batter Riva Pindoria on a two-year contract, which will see her join the Club until the end of the 2028 season.
Pindoria moves to Lancashire Cricket off the back of a strong individual season. The Barnet-born all-rounder has struck at 127 for Middlesex in the 2026 Vitality Blast, with a highest score of 52 not out from just 28 balls coming at the end of July against Sussex.
The 20-year-old has already been involved in the Club’s set-up - featuring for the Second XI earlier this summer - ahead of her permanent move to the Red Rose in November.
Earlier this year, Pindoria was selected in the South Asian Cricket Academy's (SACA) inaugural squad for their women's pilot programme during the 2026 season.
Speaking about her move, Riva Pindoria said: “I am extremely proud and excited to sign a contract with Lancashire. It is a huge milestone in my career, and I can’t wait to get started in the coming months.
“Having spoken to Readie [Chris Read] ahead of the move, I am really drawn to the project at Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground and believe I can contribute to help the squad achieve their goals over the coming years.
“I am looking forward to joining a talented group and really getting stuck into things during my time at Lancashire.”
Women's Head Coach Chris Read commented: “We are delighted to be able to sign Riva and bring her into our set-up ahead of the 2027 season.
“She is an extremely talented batter, who can offer plenty of skill and versatility with the bat. We think she has the talent to make a real difference to the squad.
“Having already brought her into the fold for some Second XI games earlier in the season, we are really excited for Riva to join us permanently in November for the start of winter training.”
