Megan Schutt is a fast bowler known for her athleticism, and her progress to the top level of the game came at remarkable speed. She first appeared in the 2009-10 season at just 16, representing the South Australian Scorpions in the Women's National Cricket League. Her combination of speed and control quickly drew attention, and in 2012 she was called up by Australia, debuting against New Zealand.

Her breakthrough on the global stage arrived at the 2013 World Cup in India. Schutt finished the event with 15 wickets, more than any other bowler, and her contribution was central to Australia claiming the title. Two years later she was again influential when the Southern Stars won the Ashes in England in 2015, ending a 14-year wait for success there.
The 2017-18 season showed Schutt at her peak. During a tri-nation series in India she became the first Australian bowler to take a T20I hat-trick, and her form that year earned her a place in the ICC women's T20I team of the year. Leading the bowling unit, she delivered steady performances that helped Australia regain the World T20 crown in the Caribbean in 2018.
At domestic level she is contracted to the Adelaide Strikers in the WBBL. Schutt is regarded as one of the key figures behind Australia's sustained position near the top of the rankings.
