MUMBAI: “I thought I will end up teaching but thankfully cricket took off for me,” says the Australian all-rounder Tahlia McGrath, who almost contemplated quitting because of a stress fracture in her back. Thankfully for Australia, the 27-year-old fought through the pain, underwent a long rehab process, worked on her game and is now the No.1 T20I woman batter in the world.
Since her T20I debut in October 2021, which also marked her return to the Australian team, McGrath has scored 615 runs in just 18 innings at an average of 61.50 with the help of five half-centuries.
