Megan Schutt Confirms the 2026 T20 World Cup Will Be Her Final ICC Event
Australian fast bowler Megan Schutt has confirmed the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup will be her last ICC tournament.
Schutt made her international debut in 2012 and has taken 309 wickets across 240 games in all three formats, putting her among the most successful bowlers in Australian cricket history.
She is not winding down quietly. Asked about her motivation heading into the tournament, Schutt made it clear she wants to finish with a win. "Hungry is one word and for me it's revenge, or spite. It's definitely one I want to go and win. I'm competitive in everything I do, which is a good and a bad thing. The last two have stung and, after being part of a lot of success, it stings even more."
Days after the announcement, Schutt was named in Australia's 15-player squad for the tournament in England and Wales. She spearheads the bowling attack alongside Kim Garth in a squad led by captain Sophie Molineux.
Australia open their campaign against South Africa in Manchester on 13 June, chasing a record seventh Women's T20 World Cup title.
