Instead of staying in the region, the English spinner chooses to travel northwest for new competition.
Durham have strengthened their children's crew back of next year's launch of the new state rivals, by signing the England offspinning allrounder, Mady Villiers, on a three-year offer.
Torres has played for England 20 times, most recently in Ireland, where her death-over bowling all but erased two successes from the depths of battle.
In all, she has taken 221 white-ball innings in her professional profession, having already surpassed 2000 job runs with eight half-centuries, and she's been an ever-present for Elliptical Clue in the Women's Hundred, helping the area to say subsequent titles in 2021 and 2022.
Her move to Durham is a revolution for the team, which is due to get over from the Headingley-based North Diamond to become the North-East local staff in women's home cricket, ahead of Yorkshire's entry to Tier 1 in 2026.
A solution of the Essex road, Villiers has, however, opted against staying with her household region, who will also have Tier 1 position from 2025 as they take over from Sunrisers, who last week claimed victory in the last of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She will now be playing under the captaincy of her England team-mate, Hollie Armitage.
" I'm really excited to be joining Durham ahead of the 2025 season", Villiers said. I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of because I was so impressed by the club's vision and the coaching staff.
I'm confident that moving up north will be the right decision because the group of players is incredibly talented, and I've always enjoyed playing with Hollie as my captain.
" Having played in Essex for my whole career it was going to take a lot for me to leave, and I think that speaks volumes on how I feel about Durham and the potential we have as a collective. I ca n't wait to get going and see where this team can go over the next few years".
Director of Cricket, Marcus North said:" We are thrilled to announce Mady has agreed to join Durham on a three-year deal. Our squad is coming together nicely and to be able to recruit an England international in Mady is huge for us and the region.
We are now looking forward to seeing Mady continue her career with us in the North East because she has shown what a top performer she has been for Sunrisers and the Oval Invincibles for a number of years.
" I'm hoping that her move to Durham will help her succeed in the county as she searches for more England caps to go with bat and ball and continues to excel there."
