Stafanie Taylor was born to play cricket. And if she wouldn't have, our sport would have been poorer. She is a genuine allrounder who bats in the top-order and bowls terrific off-spin.

At primary school, Taylor first played football and then netball. She went on her first cricket tour at the age of just 10. For a period of time, Taylor played both football and cricket and eventually chose the latter as it gave her more opportunities to travel around the world.

In 2008, she started her career at the age of 17 against Ireland. In a debut innings to remember, she smashed 90 in just 49 balls and since then, has never looked back.
