Ellyse Perry is an Australian cricketer born on 3 November 1990. Arguably, she is considered one of the greatest all-rounders of all time, who has, along with other Australian teammates, created an era of Australian supremacy in world cricket for over a decade.
She has represented Australia at all formats along with various teams at the domestic and franchise level, including New South Wales, Sydney Sixers (WBBL), Victoria, and Birmingham Phoenix (The Hundred). Perry has the elegant flow of batting, the consistent ability to take wickets, and a match-winning temperament, truly taking her place among the most iconized names in world cricket.
