'Megan Is The Ultimate Professional; She's Got A Big Role To Play For Us', Says Aus Head Coach Shelley Nitschke

Premadasa International Cricket Stadium: Australian women’s team head coach Shelley Nitschke described pacer Megan Schutt as the ‘ultimate professional’ for her response to being left out of the team’s playing XI for their World Cup campaign opener against New Zealand.

Although it was expected that the Aussies would include Schutt in their plans for the second game against Sri Lanka, the match was washed out due to persistent rains, and the pacer had to wait a little longer for her inclusion.
