Ellyse Perry shows no signs of slowing after 20-year career
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 22:44 · Archive
Australian cricketer Ellyse Perry continues at the top of her game nearly two decades after her 2007 international debut.
Ellyse Perry has maintained her place at the top of Australian cricket for nearly two decades, continuing to dominate since her international debut against New Zealand in 2007. Seven Australian prime ministers have held office during her career, yet she shows no signs of stepping back from the sport.
Perry has adapted consistently as the game has evolved, which teammate Phoebe Litchfield credits as key to her longevity. 'She's evolved with the game but also kind of pioneered for the game,' Litchfield said. 'She has stayed ahead of it, continued to get better, and never stops. She's got a drive that inspires all of us and most of the younger generation as well.'
Perry was present when the Women's Big Bash League began more than a decade ago and continues to feature prominently. She is the second-leading run scorer in WBBL history with 5,101 runs and has taken 72 wickets across 144 appearances. She recently scored two half centuries in her three most recent games for Australia and will play for the Sydney Sixers against the Brisbane Heat on Friday.
