All-rounder Ellyse Perry will become the first Australian woman to make 300 international appearances when she takes the field in the upcoming INDW vs AUSW 2nd T20I to be played on January 7 (Sunday). As stated Perry will become the first Australian woman, and just the fourth overall player in Women’s Cricket to play 300 matches. She joins an exclusive club that features three legends of the game in Mithali Raj, Charlotte Edwards and Suzie Bates.
Love to play 400: Ellyse Perry
When asked about her future, Ellyse Perry said that she would love to continue, and she could not rule out potentially being part of the Australian team when cricket makes its debut at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
“I’m very much open to whatever pans out in the next little bit for me,” Perry told reporters on Saturday. “I’m absolutely loving the opportunity to be a part of this group still, and I think if I’m in the same phase as I am at the moment, then I’d love to play 400.
It must be mentioned that Perry was left out of Australia’s T20 team early in 2022, but she made a strong comeback to become an integral part of the squad once again.
“It’s a great time for us, of evolution. You’ve seen a lot of that in the way that Phoebe Litchfield has performed in those one-day matches; Annabel Sutherland, her last 12 months,” Perry said. “The game is moving at such a rapid pace. There’s a new environment. In a lot of ways, the sky’s the limit in terms of where it can go,” she added.
