The highest women's T20 international wicket taker of all time, Mohammed only started playing cricket at the age of 14, with her international debut following a year later. 

The off-spinner has appeared over 200 times for West Indies in all formats, taking 269 wickets since making her debut at just 15 in 2003 against Japan in the World Cup qualifiers. 

She has experienced success in both white-ball formats, sat fourth on the all-time ODI wicket takers for women at the turn of 2020, and is the highest wicket-taker for West Indies women with 115.

Her ODI career took off when she picked up consecutive five-wicket hauls in matches against Pakistan in 2011.

The first came for just five runs, the best ODI bowling figures by a West Indian woman, while the second cost just seven.

Her best ODI bowling figures came in 2011 as well, when she played in the World Cup 2013 qualifiers. Pakistan were on the receiving end again, with Mohammed claiming 7-14. 

Not only has she excelled at the 50-over game, she has demonstrated her terrific talent in the 20-over format as well.

Her prolific potential was evident from 2008, when she took her first T20 four-wicket haul - 4-20 against the Netherlands on the Windies’ tour of Europe.

Next, in 2010 she took consecutive four-wicket hauls in T20s in Sri Lanka. Then she became the third player to take a five-wicket haul in women’s T20Is, picking up 5-10 in South Africa. 

The vice-captain of the women's side, she is one of the most prolific players with countless years of experience to pass on to captain Stafanie Taylor.
