Maiden will start work on 1 November as the Bears prepare for a major restructure of the domestic women’s game from 2025 – along with Durham, Essex, Hampshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset and Surrey, the other seven sides awarded Tier 1 status.
“I’m hugely excited to be joining Bears Women at the start,” said Maiden. “I’ve spoken to several people at the club and it’s clear they’re passionate about women’s cricket, forming a successful side, and encouraging more women and girls into the sport.
“I’ve had various coaching and head coach roles and been looking for an opportunity to get back into women’s cricket.
“I put my name in the hat for this job very early on.”
