Issy Wong

Isabelle Eleanor Chih Ming Wong, born on May 15, 2002, in Chelsea, Middlesex, England, is a right-arm fast-medium bowler and aggressive right-handed lower-order batter for the England women's cricket team. Of Hong Kong descent, she moved to Warwickshire as a teenager and rose rapidly through the ranks with Southern Vipers, earning an ECB Academy call-up in 2019/20. Wong made her international debut across all formats in 2022 against South Africa, including a Test where she took 3-100 on debut. Known for raw pace—she aims to be the first woman to bowl 80mph—she claimed the first WPL hat-trick for Mumbai Indians in 2023. At 23 in 2026, she plays for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred and various WBBL franchises.

Wong has featured in 1 Test (3 wickets at 33.33), 4 ODIs (4 wickets at 30.25, best 3-36), and 17 T20Is (12 wickets at 26.83, economy 6.63). Her T20I standout includes 2-10, while batting contributions feature quick 13s and 15s at high strike rates over 180. Domestically, she excelled with 18 WPL wickets at 14.44 average and consistent Vipers performances. A central contract holder, Wong's express pace and big-hitting make her a thrilling prospect despite occasional injury setbacks. She remains a key part of England's white-ball attack.
