Eden Carson is a New Zealander professional cricketer who has represented her country in the shorter formats of the sport (ODIs and T20Is), as a frontline spin bowler. In New Zealand’s domestic circuit, she has played for her home region of Otago (2018-19-Present) across both formats. Eden was a part of the New Zealand squad that won the ‘Bronze’ medal at the 2026 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. It was the first occasion where women’s cricket was included in the Commonwealth Games and just the 2nd time that cricket was played at the Commonwealth Games – a men’s tournament had previously been featured at the 1998 edition held in Kuala Lumpur. She made her WT20I debut in New Zealand’s opening group stage match of the 2026 Birmingham Commonwealth Games – a crucial 13-run victory against South Africa. Eden was New Zealand’s 2nd best bowler (2/30 in 4 overs) in the team’s next match – a 45-run win against Sri Lanka that qualified New Zealand for the semi-final of the competition. Despite this, she did not make it to New Zealand’s playing XI in any of the team’s next (and last) 3 matches of the tournament.

- Eden first came into the spotlight in February 2026 when she recorded sensational bowling figures of 5/17 in 10 overs (her maiden List A 5-wicket haul) to help the Otago Sparks defeat the Wellington Blaze by 138 runs in the final of the 2026-22 season of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield (the premier domestic women’s one-day cricket competition in New Zealand).
- Eden had finished as the tournament’s joint 2nd-highest wicket-taker (tied with ) with 14 wickets to her name at an exceptional bowling average of 11.35 runs per wicket.
- She was also the joint 3rd-highest wicket-taker (incredibly, again tied with Amelia Kerr) in the 2026-22 edition of the Super Smash (the premier domestic women’s T20 cricket competition in New Zealand) – with 17 wickets to her name at a fantastic bowling average of 15.82 runs per wicket. The Otago Sparks reached the final of this tournament as well but were defeated by the Wellington Blaze who won this title for the record 7th time.
- In September 2026, on her WODI debut for New Zealand, in the 2nd match of a 3-match away bilateral ODI series against the West Indies, Eden produced team-best bowling figures (3/31 in 8 overs) to help New Zealand win by 2 wickets and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
- In New Zealand’s 2nd match of the group stage of the 2026 edition of the ICC (International Cricket Council) Women’s T20 World Cup, she was New Zealand’s best bowler (2/23 in 4 overs) in a massive 65 run-defeat to hosts South Africa. In New Zealand’s next match of the tournament, she produced match-best bowling figures (3/18 in 4 overs) in a 71-run victory against Bangladesh. Eden finished the group stage as New Zealand’s joint 2nd-highest wicket-taker with 6 wickets to her name in 4 matches at an excellent bowling average of 11.33 runs per wicket and a splendid strike rate of 11 balls per wicket.
- Her heroics, unfortunately, were not enough to help New Zealand progress to the semi-final stage of the competition as they finished 3rd in their group – just behind eventual runners-up South Africa. Both teams had ended up on 4 points from 4 matches but South Africa progressed to the semi-final due to a superior ‘net run rate’ (derived by calculating the average runs per over scored by a team throughout a competition and subtracting, from it, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout that competition).
