Career

After missing out on Australia's squad for the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup, McGrath was recalled to the team when she was named in Australia's squad for the Women's Ashes. She was named in both the WODI squad and the Test squad.[4] On 26 October 2017, she took her first international wicket in the second WODI match against England.[5]

She made her Test debut for Australia Women against England Women on 9 November 2017 in The Women's Ashes.[6]

In November 2018, she was named in the Adelaide Strikers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[7][8] In April 2019, Cricket Australia awarded her with a contract with the National Performance Squad ahead of the 2019–20 season.[9][10] In April 2020, Cricket Australia awarded McGrath with a central contract ahead of the 2020–21 season.[11][12]

In August 2021, McGrath was named in Australia's squad for their series against India, which included a one-off day/night Test match as part of the tour.[13] On 21 September 2021, in the first of the series' three WODI matches at Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay, Queensland, she swung the ball both ways while bowling, and really troubled some of India's best players, but did not take a wicket, and did not bat. In the second WODI on 24 September 2021, also at Mackay, she claimed 3-45, and then made a career-best 74 in 77 balls, sharing in a partnership with Beth Mooney that helped to propel Australia from the lowest point in its run chase to a cliffhanging victory.[1] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut on 7 October 2021, for Australia against India.[14]
