Megan Schutt has become one of the biggest names in women’s cricket over the years. And the much-loved inswinger has been extremely candid about the ups and downs of her journey. At first, she described her own pace as ‘perfect to be hit’ and her bowling action as ‘pretty horrible’. However, with two decades in the game, she has become the leading wicket-taker in women’s internationals and the most successful bowler in Women’s cricket history.
Nonetheless, Megan’s success was not built solely on raw pace or natural physical dominance. It was years of practice, adaptation, resilience and a touch of accidental genius. The turning point came when a teenage stress factor pushed her to alter her bowling action. That unintentionally changed her into an inswing bowler, a skill that defined her career. So, let’s take a look at her journey.
