It's hardly the most glamorous of sports.

But Grace Hayden is certainly bringing sizzling sex appeal to the world of cricket as a member of Seven's all-star broadcast team.

We papped the daughter of cricket legend Matthew Hayden enjoying a fun-filled day at the beach in Noosa on Sunday.

Joined by her cotton heir boyfriend Wilson Statham, the blonde turned heads as she soaked up the sun.

Soon after arriving, the 23-year-old stripped down to a skimpy Imana bikini then raced into the surf with her beau.

The glamorous cricket commentator was joined by her boyfriend, cotton heir Wilson Statham

After their swim, the young lovebirds retreated to the sand, where they could hardly keep their hands - or lips - off each other.

She paired her barely there two-piece with a pair of $550 Gucci sunglasses.

After an afternoon spent topping up her tan, she covered up again by changing into a denim mini skirt and grey singlet.

Grace was first linked to Wilson - the son of Queensland cotton moguls Danielle and David Statham - in June last year.

The beach trip comes after Grace defended herself against 'nepo baby' accusations.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, the sportscaster refuted suggestions she had achieved success thanks to her famous father.

Quite the contrary - she said it was tougher having such a well-known surname.

'More often than not, you have to work harder to prove to yourself that you actually deserve to be there,' she said.

She flaunted her curvaceous figure in a skimpy Imana bikini that retails for $180

'So I love that challenge aspect of the situation that I am so grateful and lucky to be born into, but it's a genuine passion and love that I have for the game, and I couldn't see myself doing anything else now.'

But while Grace insists she hasn't relied on her father's name and connections to get ahead, she is happy to confirm he is her biggest supporter.

'He's always stoked to see me achieve new heights and we always have a laugh together.'

Having recently covered cricket in India, Grace is now poised to spearhead coverage in one of the sport's largest untapped markets: the United States.

She is hosting a new weekly video podcast called Game On with Grace that aims to introduce cricket to a mainstream American audience through storytelling and conversations with the game's biggest personalities.

The show will stream on Willow, the leading cricket network in the U.S., which primarily targets Indian expats.

Cricket has long struggled to gain traction stateside, where baseball is the national pastime, but Grace's podcast signals a modern, savvy approach to breaking through in a competitive sporting landscape.

She hopes to bridge the gap between the cricketing world and American viewers by showcasing the game's energy, global appeal and human stories.

Her first guest will be Adam Gilchrist, one of the greatest wicketkeeper-batsmen in history.

Together, Gilchrist and Grace's father Matthew helped Australia dominate world cricket in the early 2000s.

'Game On is about pulling back the curtain on the world of sports' untold stories,' Grace said earlier this week.

'I grew up in cricket's front row and have covered its biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most happen off camera.

'Partnering with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny, and inspiring conversations with athletes, artists, and anyone chasing greatness.

'I can't wait to bring these stories to fans each week on the Willow app and wherever they listen to podcasts.'
