Australian cricket star Ellyse Perry has expressed her enthusiasm for potentially competing at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Perry, who has amassed a remarkable career in cricket, including multiple World Cup wins and a Commonwealth Games gold medal, looks forward to the return of cricket to the Olympics after more than a century.
Her achievements span victories in ICC tournaments, successful stints with teams like the Sydney Sixers and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and consistent top rankings in international women’s cricket.
Never Looked At It Like That – Ellyse Perry
Ellyse Perry has refrained from setting a retirement timeline and remains optimistic about her potential participation in the 2028 Olympics. She has expressed keen interest in joining the Olympic event, provided she maintains her form and availability.
“I don’t think I’m the kind of person that wants to pin a date on a retirement. I’ve never looked at it like that. If I’m still there and available and good enough, I’d like to be there. I haven’t set a target on playing at the Olympics, but if I’m still around and good enough, I’d absolutely love to be there. It’s an awesome thing for the game, and an amazing opportunity to continue to grow it,” Perry said.
Currently representing Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred, Ellyse Perry is gearing up for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Bangladesh this October. Despite a challenging start where she was dismissed for a duck against Oval Invincibles, Perry quickly rebounded, showcasing her resilience with a brilliant 65 runs off 48 balls in a subsequent match against London Spirit.
England Have Been In Tremendous Form – Ellyse Perry
Australia is set to defend their T20 World Cup title in Bangladesh this October. Ellyse Perry acknowledged England’s formidable form, noting that the margin between England and Australia is narrow.
“England have been in tremendous form and are playing some great cricket. Really excitingly there are a great number of younger players coming through on the domestic scene here,” Perry further added.
“I don’t think there’s ever been a huge gap between England and Australia. The Australian team have had the knack of winning the big moments. All sides are playing really consistently now and have a really good handle on the way they want to play.”
Under the leadership of Heather Knight, England showcased their dominance this summer with a commanding performance against New Zealand. The English team swept both the ODI and T20I series against the Black Caps, establishing themselves as formidable contenders for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
