In this episode of She’s in the Game, we sit down with Perth Scorchers fast bowling all-rounder and fellow podcaster, Piepa Cleary, to unpack her journey in cricket and beyond. Piepa reflects on her early memories of playing cricket with the boys, her first professional contract with the WACA, and being part of the BBL since its inaugural season. We chat about her experiences representing Australia A, the importance of those tours, and the pivotal decision to take time overseas to reignite her passion for the game.

Piepa also opens up about the challenges of her recent ACL injury, giving us an honest insight into the rehab process, lessons learned, and the role of her support network. She shares what it was like traveling with the Scorchers during the WBBL and helping nurture young talent at the WACA. Outside of cricket, we explore her passion for podcasting, the importance of vulnerability, and her love for fishing and golf.
