Shemaine Campbelle

In her first tournament for her island Guyana, Campbelle was named player of the series and hasn’t looked back since

Born: October 14, 1992

Role: Right-hand bat 

Captain of her national side, Guyana, this explosive middle-order batsman has been in love with cricket since joining her local cricket club aged 13.

In her first tournament for her island she was named player of the series and hasn’t looked back since. 

Campbelle's breakthrough moment came four years when she made her ODI debut against South Africa in 2009, while she hit her maiden century in 2013 against Sri Lanka.

The 105 was the first century to be struck by a women's cricketer who batted at No.7 or below in one-day games. 

A veteran of the side, with 99 IT20 caps and 83 ODI appearances, she is an excellent talent in the middle to lower order, coming to the crease to finish off an innings in style, which is exactly what she did when scoring her maiden ODI century. 

She took a brief hiatus from international cricket between 2016 and 2018 after her run return proved insufficient to sustain her place in the side.

When she isn’t being an agile fielder, she is behind the stumps as the Windies’ reserve wicketkeeper, the role she takes on for her national side.
