Ellyse Perry

Celebrating Holy 

Ellyse Perry is a special Player who excelled in two sports.

She is one of those rare athletes who have represented her country (Australia) in two sports world Cup; football and Cricket.

At present Ellyse is considered as one of the all-time greats of Women’s Cricket.  She was a good footballer too. In 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup in a match against Sweden she scored for Australia right from the edge of the box curving it into top corner of the net.

Now with 4921 Runs and 283 Wickets with a Test Average of 75.2 Runs her football life looks so far away. It was her athleticism and tight fielding that cost India the match in the semi-finals of the recently concluded ICC T20 Women’s World Cup in South Africa.

She was chosen by Royal Challengers Bangalore and is one of the biggest attractions of the Indian T20 Women’s Premier league which she believes is phenomenal and  feels its scale is unrivaled by any other Women’s competition in the world. She believes the Indian Premier League will create an amazing depth of talent for the Indian Women’s Cricket.

Ellyse Perry is, no doubt, going to inspire thousands of Indian girls in the coming years. Wish you the best Ellyse and it is you we are thinking about on International Women’s Day, the youngest ever Cricketer, both male and female, to have represented Australia.
