Perry says to cricket.com.au, “Personally it was poor timing and I would have loved to have played in the rest of the tournament, absolutely without a doubt. But at the same time, it’s not about me.”

Perry goes on to say that when she recalls the event, it doesn’t even seem like it was just the Australian team. She feels that the finals managed to create an impactful moment in Women’s cricket.

“It was just about the event, the moment in women’s cricket that it created was just absolutely incredible. Hopefully what it does for the sport has a flow-on effect.“
