She is one of the mainstay of her side and last appeared in the Women’s T20 World Cup where England’s campaign was cut short due to a washed out game.

“I don’t mind any team, really. But I support Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) because they have/had Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, Moeen Ali, Yuzvendra Chahal and AB de Villiers. So, RCB would be cool, I’d like to play for them,” Wyatt told cricket.com.
