At just 17 years old, Isa Guha became the first woman of South Asian origin to represent England in any sport, when she made her international cricket debut in 2002. Since then, she has continued to build a successful career and can currently be seen at two major sporting events - The Commonwealth Games and The Hundred.
Originally from Buckinghamshire in High Wycombe, Isa, now 37, started playing cricket with her older brother when she was about eight, and was selected for the Development England side at 13. She went to Wycombe High School, a state school for girls. She graduated with a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology and gained an MPhil in neuroscience, both at University College London.
Having ignited her passion for cricket at a young age, the sportswoman made her Test debut at 17 against India during their tour in 2002. As part of the same tour, Isa played in the 2002 Women's Tri-Series, and performed well, taking three wickets in England's loss against New Zealand in the final.
