Maitlan Joy Brown (born 5 June 1997) is an Australian cricketer who plays as an all-rounder[1] for the ACT Meteors and the Melbourne Renegades.[2][3] In April 2017, she toured Sri Lanka with the Australia A squad, and in August that year she was one of eight players named in Cricket Australia’s inaugural Women’s National Performance squad.[2][4]
In November 2018, she was named in the Melbourne Renegades' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[5][6] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract with the National Performance Squad ahead of the 2019–20 season.[7][8]
Off the field, Brown has generated some notoriety for a skill that has been described as "bizarre", namely her ability to speak and sing with her mouth shut. Brown has said that she taught herself that skill as a child, while sitting in the car on long road trips with her family.[9]
