Most appearances in Women’s T20 Internationals
T20Is are the shortest format of cricket where a game is generally finished in about three-and-a-half hours. Despite the short length of the matches, the format requires a player to be at his 100% at all times as it can change in a split second. With the fitness demands of the format, playing over 100 matches in T20Is is a big achievement for any player.
There have been several players in Women’s T20Is who have breached the 100-match barrier and represented their nation for over 100 matches in the shortest format of international cricket. On that note, let’s take a look at the top three players with the most matches in women’s T20Is:
