Ellyse Alexandra Perry (born 3 November 1990) is an Australian sportswoman who made her debut for both the Australian cricket and the Australian women's national soccer team at the age of 16. She played her first cricket international in July 2007 before earning her first soccer cap for Australia a month later. Perry is the youngest person to represent Australia in cricket and the first Australian to have appeared in both cricket and soccer World Cups.
Perry was fast-tracked to make her Women's One Day International (WODI) debut for Australia against New Zealand, three months before playing a single match for her state New South Wales in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL). In 2007–08, she made her debut for New South Wales and won the WNCL with them, and at the end of the season, she made her Women's Test cricket debut in Bowral against England. During the season, she was the player of the match in her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut against England, and made her maiden WODI half-century against New Zealand.
