Ellyse Perry’s career is one that’s been dominated by incredible firsts and the kind of milestones that most aspiring sports stars could only dream of. You could say that her perspective on life is a little, well, unique.
Making her international debuts in both cricket and soccer at the age of just 16 (the first player of any gender to do so), Ellyse is on the fast track to becoming one of the most spectacular elite athletes in Australian history.
