Megan Schutt has been Australiaâs mainstay fast-bowler since her debut in 2012. An athletic right-arm fast-medium who is one of the leading ladies when it comes to the leading wicket tally. Schutt is also the first female cricketer to take a hat-trick in the T20I format. The list doesnât end here; the pacer was also named in ICCâs T20I Team of the Decade.
The Adelaide-born Schutt came into the South Australian Scorpions team during the 2009-10 season of the Women's National Cricket League. She made her name due to her accuracy and pace. The pacer didnât take too long to grab the eyeballs of the national selectors.
The quick-gun made her ODI debut against New Zealand in 2012, where she went for runs in a low-scoring game and went wicketless as well. However, she made a solid comeback in her second game by picking two crucial wickets and was then named in the Australian squad for the 2013 World Cup, held in India. The pacer bagged 15 wickets in the ICC tournament, finishing as the highest wicket-taker to help Australia lift the trophy. She followed it up with her brilliance during the Ashesâ win in England for the first time in 14 years.
In 2015, Cricket Australia introduced the Womenâs Big Bash League, and the Adelaide Strikers picked Schutt. During the 2017-18 season, the seamer found her peak, especially in the shortest format of the game, and was later named in the ICCâs T20I Team of the Year.
Schutt used her form to help Australia clinch the 2018 World T20 title. She finished the tournament as the third-highest wicket-taker with 10 scalps. The pacer was also in sublime nick during the next 20-over World Cup, where she was the highest wicket-taker with 13 wickets. Australia clinched another trophy. In January 2021, ICC named Schutt in the prestigious T20I Team of the Decade for her contribution.
Since her debut, she has been a vital cog and played a mammoth role in Australiaâs dominance. With age on her side, the pacer has the potential to become one of the greatest in the years to follow.
