The woman cricketer is competent enough to play in the middle-order, having flair of standing at the crease for long.
She is considered as an all-rounder, skilled enough to play as a right-handed batswoman and a fast-medium bowler. Coming to her astounding performance, Perry has 624, 3022 and 1218 runs to go with 31, 152 and 114 wickets in 8 Tests, 112 ODIs and 120 T20Is respectively.
