She is widely recognized as one of the greatest female all-rounders in the history of the sport. Perry's interest in cricket was sparked when her older brother, Damien Perry, showed her how to bowl one evening in their family kitchen. This led to a close and competitive relationship between the siblings, with both of them engaging in various outdoor activities such as cricket, bike riding, and tree climbing. Perry made her One-Day International debut for Australia at the age of 16 and eight months, becoming the youngest-ever Australian cricketer. She also made her Test debut against England in February 2008 and quickly established herself as a genuine all-rounder across all formats of the game.

She has been a key player for Australia, representing them in nine ICC World Cup-winning teams, both in Women's Cricket World Cups and Women's T20 World Cups.",
