Beth Mooney: News

Starting her domestic career at the young age of 16 for Queensland Fire in the 2009-10 season, Australian cricketer Beth Mooney rose to fame after her performance in the 2012-13 season. After signing for Yorkshire Women's team in 2015, Mooney carried her stellar form to the inaugural Women's Big Bash League in 2015-16. She was also part of the team that won the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 held in Bangladesh, but she did not play. Her international debut came against India in a Twenty20 match in 2016. She made her ODI debut the same year. Notably, 2017 proved to be a breakthrough year for her as she scored her first WODI century and won the first ICC T20I Player of the Year and Emerging Player of the Year awards. A batswoman first and wicketkeeper next, Mooney's rise to fame has been consistent since 2017. Although Alyssa Healy’s presence has prevented her from being the team's first-choice wicketkeeper, Mooney has carved herself a place in the Australian batting hierarchy as a specialist opener. In the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, Mooney finished the tournament as the leading scorer and was the Player of the Tournament.
