Hazel Mary Sanders (16 July 1926 – 29 December 1995) was an English cricketer who played as a right-handed batter. She appeared in 12 Test matches for England between 1949 and 1958. She played domestic cricket for Surrey for 11 years.[1][2]
Sanders made her debut during England's first post-war tour of Australia and New Zealand in early 1949, reaching 54, her highest Test score, in a victory over New Zealand at Auckland. She scored another half-century, against Australia, at Scarborough in 1951.[3]
Off the field, Sanders was a biochemist, who worked on lipids at the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry at Middlesex Hospital. She published scientific papers on Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, describing a modification of an existing scientific process using column chromatography to separate and identify lipids from human brain cell matter, allowing phosphatidylserine to be isolated more simply and quickly.[4][5]
