With her team all set to come out strong, King said she was confident in how they were prepared to work together as a team.
As Australia’s only specialist leg-spinner, King has a huge role to play in Australia’s bowling attack. Both her ability to spin the ball and fool hitters has turned her into an absolute nightmare to face. Take a look as she discusses her path in the interview, above. She drew on her experiences in last year’s international tournaments and leagues, most notably the Hundred.
