Holly Louise Colvin (born 7 September 1989 in Chichester) is a retired English cricketer and former member of the England women's cricket team.
She currently holds the record of being the youngest Test cricketer of either sex to play for England.
A right-hand bat and slow left arm bowler, Colvin attended Westbourne House School, West Sussex originally as a batsman and started playing for the 1st XI in year 7 and averaging over 100. After Westbourne House, Colvin followed in the footsteps of England women's captain Clare Connor by playing in the boys' team at Brighton College. Competing in the Lord's Taverners under-15 Cup in 2004, Colvin and fellow Brightonian Sarah Taylor were the only girls amongst the 1,000 participating teams. Colvin and Taylor's involvement in the competition caused controversy within the MCC, with president Robin Marlar calling their inclusion "absolutely outrageous". He proceeded to argue that, "if there's an 18-year-old who can bowl at 80mph and he's been brought up properly then he shouldn't want to hurt a lady at any cost". Richard Cairns, headmaster of Brighton College, dismissed the comments as "show[ing] a huge generation gap"; Colvin herself commented that "we just thought it was funny... [they] don't treat me any different. They bowl at me just as fast and hit the ball just as hard". On a cricket tour to Sri Lanka in December 2004, she was one of the last people to play at the Galle International Stadium before it was flattened by the tsunami of Boxing Day that year. In December 2006, Colvin was named as 'Female Pupil of the Year' by The Telegraph's 'School Sport Matters' campaign, receiving the award at Lord's from Olympic gold-medallist Kelly Holmes.
