The West Indies' most accomplished women's cricketer and the first woman to reach No.1 in ICC rankings in both batting and bowling simultaneously — a truly complete cricketer whose excellence across formats has been the foundation of West Indian women's cricket for 15 years.
Stafanie Roxann Taylor was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica in 1991 and became the most versatile and decorated cricketer in West Indies Women's history — simultaneously the team's greatest batter, most economical bowler and most inspirational captain. Her ODI record: 4,964 runs in 138 matches at 38.47 with 7 centuries, and 146 wickets at 22.10 — making her West Indies Women's all-time leading run-scorer and wicket-taker simultaneously. Her T20I record: 2,975 runs in 112 matches at 28.6 with 67 wickets. She has played 13 Tests scoring 761 runs. She plays for Jamaica. She captained West Indies Women to her first ICC Women's World Twenty20 title in 2016 — one of the most celebrated upsets in women's cricket history. She was ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of Year and T20 Cricketer of Year in both 2015 and 2016 — the only player of either gender to sweep both ICC individual awards across two consecutive years. She was named in the ICC Women's ODI Team of the Decade for 2011–2020.
