Born on January 15th 1993 in Adelaide, South Australia, current Test, ODI and T20I cricketer, Megan Schutt is a medium pace swing bowler.
“Shooter” made her debut for South Australia in the Australian Women’s Twenty20 Cup in 2009/10 and her debut in the Women’s National Cricket League in the same season under the captaincy of ICC Hall of Fame inductee, Karen Rolton.
Good returns for South Australia sees Megan selected for Australia in Jodie Fields’ team against New Zealand in an ODI in December 2012, opening the bowling with young gun, Ellyse Perry.
