Cassidy McCarthy's moment of carelessness in a different sport has been recalled after it emerged that the Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper has been involved in a cricketing mishap.
McCarthy was run out of her crease in a game for Sunrisers Leeds against Southern Brave in the women's Hundred, after leaving her bat down too slowly, allowing Lizelle Lee to hit the stumps.
The incident is an unusual footnote in the footballing career of McCarthy, who has been involved in some high-profile games for her club this season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have not commented publicly on the cricketing incident involving McCarthy.
The Premier League club is currently battling for survival, and every point is crucial in their quest for safety. They face a tough task in their upcoming fixtures, with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur looming large on the horizon.
McCarthy's error in cricket might have gone unnoticed by most of her footballing fans, but it has sparked debate about the similarities between the two sports. In both football and cricket, timing and quick thinking are essential skills for goalkeepers and wicket-keepers.
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be hoping to put their Premier League struggles behind them when they take on Tottenham Hotspur. McCarthy will be expected to perform well in goal, especially given the high-stakes nature of the match.
The match is scheduled to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 BST on Saturday.
