Caiome Bray: It is not a big deal for a footballer to dominate the cricket field. MS Dhoni, Ellis Perry are some big examples of this. But, the manner in which Australian Under-17 football team goalkeeper Kuivah Bray has written a new story of his success in cricket is a bit different. What 16 year old Kuivah Bray has done on the WBBL pitch definitely makes her one of the 6 cricketers in the world who have done so. It also gives him the title of being the youngest among them.

Created history by taking a hat-trick in WBBL

Now the question is what has Kuivah Bray done? This 16 year old player has created history by taking a hat-trick in WBBL. Even though she is the 7th cricketer to do so in this Australian Women's T20 League. But the history is that she is the youngest among the seven players to take a hat-trick in WBBL. Before Kuivah Bray, Nicole Bolton, Gemma Triscari, Amy Satterthwaite, Dane van Niekerk, Marijne Kapp and Darcy Brown have also taken hat-tricks in the WBBL.

Injury put a break on football, connection with cricket

Like former Australian women's cricket team captain Ellyse Perry, Kuivah Bray is also emerging as a double sports player.

His connection with cricket came when due to injury there was a break in his football playing. She then started giving priority to Australia's Women's T20 League. With the 3-year contract signed with Sydney Sixers, their football team goalkeeper Kuivah Bray's career in cricket started.

Sydney Sixers all-rounder

Football goalkeeper Kuivah Bray is an all-rounder in cricket. His contract with Sydney Sixers started from last season.

In his first season, he played 10 matches in WBBL and took 10 wickets and scored 37 runs. But in the current season, she is being discussed because she has become the youngest player to take a hat-trick in the Women's Big Bash.

Aspire to be like Alice Perry

Kuivah Bray completed his hat-trick in WBBL in the match played against Sydney Thunder on 15 November. He completed his hat-trick by dismissing team captain Litchfield, Anika Learoyd and Laura Harris. 16 year old Kuivah Bray wants to play both football and cricket. She wants to represent Australia in both these sports like Elise Perry.
