1. Ellyse Perry, Australia

Few names in women’s cricket carry the same weight as Ellyse Perry. At 35, the Australian all-rounder is still regarded as one of the finest talents the game has produced, having made her international debut at just 16 across both cricket and football. Her list of achievements includes multiple World Cup wins, and in 2017 the ICC named her Women’s Cricketer of the Decade. What draws fans in just as much is her calm, composed presence on the field, a quality that has made her a global favourite well beyond Australian shores.

2. Smriti Mandhana, India

For Indian fans, Smriti Mandhana needs no introduction. The 29-year-old left-handed opener has built a reputation for stylish, fluent batting since debuting in 2013, and her 15 million Instagram followers reflect just how big her fan base has grown. She was named ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year twice, in 2018 and again in 2021, and holds the distinction of being the first Indian woman to score a double century in a one-day domestic match. Mandhana’s blend of elegance and match-winning form continues to make her one of the most followed cricketers in the country.

3. Amelia Kerr, New Zealand

New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr, 25, comes from a cricketing family in Wellington and has been turning heads since her White Ferns debut in 2016. She shot to international fame in 2018 with an unbeaten 232 against Ireland, still the highest individual score in Women’s ODI history. More recently, she led New Zealand to their first ever Women’s T20 World Cup title in 2024, picking up both Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament honours along the way.

4. Harleen Deol, India

Chandigarh’s Harleen Deol, born on June 21, 1998, has quietly become one of the more versatile players in the Indian setup as a right-handed batter and leg-spin bowler. She made her international debut in 2019, but it was her spectacular boundary catch against England in 2021 that went viral and drew praise from cricket legends worldwide. Her maiden ODI century in December 2024 further cemented her place as a rising star for India.

5. Alice Capsey, England

At just 21, Alice Capsey has already made a name for herself both for her cricket and her confident, athletic presence. The right-handed batter and right-arm off-break bowler has represented Surrey, Oval Invincibles and Melbourne Stars, and made her England debut in July 2022. She was named the inaugural PCA Women’s Young Player of the Year in 2021, a sign of the impact she has had early in her career.

6. Jahanara Alam, Bangladesh

Jahanara Alam, 32, has long been one of Bangladesh women’s cricket’s most recognisable faces, known for her confident demeanour and distinctive personal style. As a right-arm medium-fast bowler, she became the first Bangladeshi woman to take a five-wicket haul in Women’s T20Is, with figures of 5/28 against Ireland in 2018. Her contributions have been central to some of Bangladesh’s biggest cricketing moments, including their first ODI win and the 2018 Asia Cup title.

7. Meg Lanning, Australia

Meg Lanning, 33, is widely admired for her poise and effortless charm, qualities that have matched her success as one of Australia’s most successful captains. Under her leadership, Australia claimed multiple World Cup titles, and she currently leads Delhi Capitals in the WPL, giving her a strong following among Indian fans as well.

8. Lauren Bell, England

Known affectionately as “The Shard,” Lauren Bell has become one of England’s standout fast-medium bowlers since her 2022 international debut. The 25-year-old has delivered memorable performances, including an 8-wicket haul against South Africa and career-best ODI figures of 5/37 against New Zealand. Off the field, Bell is a strong advocate for growing the women’s game, actively supporting initiatives like the Metro Bank Girls in Cricket Fund.

9. Kainat Imtiaz, Pakistan

Pakistan’s Kainat Imtiaz has built her reputation on determination and all-round versatility since debuting internationally in 2010. Her graceful style has earned her recognition well beyond her performances with bat and ball, and she remains a role model for aspiring cricketers across Pakistan and beyond.

10. Laura Marsh, England

Born on December 5, 1986, in Pembury, Kent, Laura Marsh retired as England’s most successful women’s spinner with 217 international wickets to her name. As a right-arm off-break bowler and right-handed batter, she played a key role in three World Cup victories for England, including the 2009 and 2017 ICC Women’s World Cups and the 2009 ICC Women’s World Twenty20.

Ellyse Perry continues to hold the top spot as the most admired woman cricketer in the world, thanks to her rare combination of calm presence, unmatched skill and an inspiring career that spans over a decade and a half. Alongside her, players like Smriti Mandhana, Amelia Kerr and Harleen Deol prove that grace and grit can go hand in hand.

As women’s cricket continues its rapid rise globally, these players are doing more than representing their countries. They are reshaping how the sport is seen, driven by talent, personality and the recognition they have earned on merit.
